My 3rd grade nephew had a Flat Stanley Project. Flat Stanley is a cardboard paper doll that travelled by mail to wherever the kids sent him.

The kids learned how to address the envelope, present the project through a letter, asking Flat Stanley to experience something & be returned with souvenirs of his travel adventures.

My mom took Flat Stanley to our Credit Union to learn about financial responsibility.

Yesterday, we packed FS, the souvenirs from the Credit Union. What turned out to be an exciting moment for Flat Stanley was my nephew had colored Flat Stanley clothes orange & brown. Mom had taken a picture of the Branch Manager. He stood next to a painting completely done in orange & brown autumn colors with a barn.

It was quite the moment when I was writing Flat Stanley's experience, my nephew's choice of colors & the painting. The icing on the cake was in my nephew's introduction letter he said he was an artist.
Nice confirmation for my nephew.
