Wordless Wednesday: "Flat-Self" School Project

Recently, my son's first grade class did a "Flat-Self" project, similar to Flat Stanley only the paper dolls are themselves. He mailed his to his aunt and uncle who took the paper boy to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals! We are huge Devils fans, so this was pretty awesome.


Hanging out with all of the fans before the game started. Don't you just love that he drew himself a Star Wars t-shirt?




Opening face-off of the Finals! I never thought I would say that I was jealous of a paper boy!

Sadly the Devils are not doing so well in this series and are currently down 0-3. We are hoping for a miracle.

    That's pretty darn cool. I remember making those in grade school except we had other kids trace our shadow.

    I've never heard of those before! That'd be pretty funny if you start taking it with you on all of your vacations too!

    I literally said "Awww" out loud, with no one around me, when I read what they did. That is so sweet!

    That's great! Our niece sent us a flat "person" last year and we took it around the farm to visit all the animals and help with chores. The we returned it to her class. We had a great time.
