Be Creative with Frankie, the Walk ‘N Roll Dog

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.
