Anybody hear of this kid's book called Flat Stanley?Apparently, in the story, this kid gets "flattened" after a blackboard falls on him (yeah, I know, morbid) BUT! Now he's able to travel the world by sticking himself in envelopes and mailing himself around the world!
Hazzah! I see a bright future for the USPS!!!Anyhow, my cousin who lives Florida has a son who is doing a "Flat Stanley" project for school, and now her flattened child has arrived in my mailbox.
The cool part about being here in Jersey is the many places I can take the flat kid. Here are a few I'm toying with, some "better known" landmarks:
Am I missing any good places around here that are easy to get to, not a fortune to get in to, and would look fun for a kid?
Oh, and definitely this building on Princeton Univ campus -- the one they use for "House"... someone's mom or dad is likely to be more impressed...
What about your radio station? I know when my daughter did Flat Stanley, she wanted him to see inside everybody's "work". Stanley sitting in front of the microphone is a neat image for a kid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Adventure Aquarium, like in the spot with the hippos? Or even the Battleship New Jersey, which is right near the Adventure Aquarium.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Donna said, it doesn't have to be a landmark, necessarily, just something different/neat.
P.S.-I LOVED the book Flat Stanley and I think the project is so cute! :)
Two other cool, local (to PST and in *NJ*!) places: Einstein's house and Nassau Hall
