Take a flat "friend" along on your family's summer vacation, snap photos of him or her in front of the Eiffel Tower, Washington Monument, Grand Canyon, or wherever you are heading and send OWTK your best shot (with caption). We will post the best pictures on OutWithTheKids.com!Visit the official site of Flat Stanley for more information on the literacy aspect of this fun little project. The site encourages children to write stories about their adventures with Flat Stanley. This could be used as an introduction to 3rd person writing as your child will begin to craft stories about someone or something else, other than themselves.
Flat Stanley offers your child a wonderful opportunity to expand their abilities, put pen (pencil, or crayon) to paper and weave a tale all their own.

Fun idea here. You've just been full of them lately. I love the museum idea. My wife and kids went to the local art gallery last night (it's free on Tuesday evenings) and they got a postcard from the gift shop and she said it worked great. Now granted she was dealing with a three year old and an 17 month old, but for the most part they had fun. The museum has a kids area where they spent most of their time, but they did indeed find the postcard painting. Good Stuff.
Glad the museum idea worked for your wife and kids.
Thanks for reading OWTK!
