Flat Stanley - Paper Bag Puppet Craftivity

This paper bag puppet “craftivity” will certainly get your students excited about Flat Stanley! This activity is based on the original Flat Stanley book, written by Jeff Brown, but it can be used with any of the Flat Stanley books. When students have finished their puppets, they can re-enact scenes from the book-- fly him around like a kite, put him in a large envelope, slip him under a door, or hang him on the wall like a painting in the museum!
