I had the honor of teaching a two-day program at our local library incorporating Frankie and the writing and illustration process. Week one I had the kids write a story with a Frankie theme. They could pair up or write a story on their own. One team had Frankie going to the moon! One had her going to Paris. Wee wee! She also went to the beach, as well as became a boxer. Week two I had large “Flat Frankie’s” made for each of them. They adhered their Flat Frankie to tag board and decorated to their hearts content. I don’t know who had more fun… the kids decorating their Frankie’s or me watching them having all the fun. It was a JOY to share Frankie with them! Here is a group shot of week two’s class and their Flat Frankie’s.
