In the Flat Stanley/Stacie book, Stanley/Stacie get flattened while
sleeping one night by a bulletin board. They are very surprised when
they wake up and find they are flat! Their parents try and think
positively about this change and tell them, they can visit anyone,
anywhere because they fit in an envelope and it’s cheap to mail!
Notes for Flat Juliette:
- Cut her out of cardstock or poster board. You can even laminate
her to keep her neat and make a stand to help photograph her. This
will give her some protection and longevity! Remember to add some tabs
to hold her clothes on unless you plan on using tape.
- Put the girl’s name/troop number and address/email address on the back of Juliette. This is to be sure Juliette comes home!
- Create a story about how Juliette got flattened. Send your story
with her in the mail with a note describing your project. Ask the
recipient of Flat Juliette to send you photos or postcards of her
travels. Include a return address label to facilitate her return to
you. Ask your family and friends to fill out the journal page or create a
journal entry all your own!
- Arrange a trade with another troop! Juliette can attend all their
troop events. In journals you can include pictures, postcards, local
maps, patches, SWAPS and anything else your girls can come up with!
- Don’t forget to send her on your parents’ or relatives’ business
trips. Try to get photos of her with politicians, soldiers, celebrities,
entertainers, etc. Take her to visit new places in your town.
- Don’t forget you can always make her additional outfits or print out
the passport template to send off with her. Are you visiting another
country? Try and get Customs to stamp her passport too!!
