A Flat Stanley Inspired Visit

Send your child on a virtual visit just like the book, "Flat Stanley"

The kids have been enjoying a very special visit from one of our good friends from Massachusetts – Flat Stanley style! Their good friend Aidan read Flat Stanley (affiliate link) with his second grade class, and made a Flat Aidan who came to visit us!

Fun "Flat Stanley" book activity for kids

The kids really miss Aidan and their other friends, and they were excited to have visit of sorts! He joined Johnny and Emma in their favorite activities – reading for Emma and playing with LEGO bricks for Johnny.

Emma made a nice bed for flat Aidan to sleep in using the patchwork doll quilt that we made last year:

Send your child on a Flat Stanley inspired trek around the world.

We even took Aidan along on our after dinner walks!

We have to send Flat Aidan home now, but the kids sure enjoyed his visit! Hopefully the real Aidan can visit us next time – or we will be able to take the kids back to Massachusetts for a visit!

    How fun that your kids got to host a Flat Stanley. I love the picture with Johnny. Hopefully they will get to see their friends soon!

  2. Thanks for helping us with this project, Mary Anne! Looks like “Flat Aidan” had a great time! Also wish it was us in the flesh instead of a paper version. :)
