Sounds like fun....might I suggest scanning the pic of the jellybean and emailing to those who want to be included. They can digital pic it, and email it back to you. Save in a lot of mailing issues and time. I have many friends around the world and you can try me if you'd like. Let me know and I can pm my email to you.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much

That sounds like such fun for a class !!  You can count me in for sure. For those of you that do not understand the concept, Preincess E would mail her Jelly Bean Cutout to someone on the list. That person would then take a photo of the Jelly Bean in a local adventure setting. maybe write a short story about what Jelly Bean experienced while in that place. Historical places and well known points of interest are great for this.  Or perhaps an adventure doing something that children in your hometown do for fun.  The Jelly Bean would then be mailed to the next person on the list and so on. Tracking the Jelly Bean accross the world would teach map skills , geopgraphy,  and History. And be great fun in the learning !

As Samsher suggested, as overseas mailing can be quite expensive and time consuming, perhaps it could be done with a Digital cutout of the actual Jellybean. Each Person on the list could then make an identical cut out of the Jelly Bean and take  photos and write a story about what Jelly Bean experienced while there. and post them for the Blog. . Maybe even the actual hardcopy of the photo could be mailed via snail mail to Princess E, so she could make a scrapbook and use stamps from around the world for further learning ! 

Hello all

Just wanted to let you know I have Princess E's and jellybean blog page started with a picture of her jelly bean on it and I will email it to whom ever wants it also to start with. (Jelly is going on a overnighter to Wisconsin tomorrow).

Please fill free to check it out anytime once it gets going. It is http://myjellybeanadventure.blogspot.com

Hi,

Thank you cerinthe.

There is no stop date and you don't have to travel, just the fact you live in Belgium is enough for us as it is another geographical (sp) spot on the map and a place of interest for Erin to track.

We are keeping the adventure going on all summer until school start if possible and if you know of anyone else that would like to contribute that would be great.

I spoke with Erin's teacher this morning so we are going to start tracking on the map and watching the blog site.

Again thank you all

Count me in as well... I'll introduce Jelly Bean to some of the critters that reside at an animal preserve where I volunteer....such as an ostrich, wallaby, skunks, racoon, cougar, tiger, jaguar, leopards and a variety of other critters.

I live in hot and sunny southern Florida.....

Hi there!

My Nursery (Kindergarten) children would love for Jelly to visit them in West London!

A few years ago I took 'Flat Stanley' to Africa (Kenya and SA) for 5 weeks, for a project for another school in the USA, and sent back pictures of him taken at the Nursery and at Heathrow Airport (London), in Nairobi and Kyatiki (Kenya) and in Capetown, Johannesburg Airport, Pretoria and Sabi Sands (SA), along with a written diary.

The school sent me a picture of Flat Stanley which I then cut out and laminated before taking him on his adventure.

My Nursery children are really looking forward to the arrival of 'Jelly' - hopefully within the next week. They are excited about showing Jelly around their Nursery, and our small town, and taking pictures and videos of their adventures together for Erin to show to her class.

Wow! Jelly is going to a Disney Park? We can't wait to read about her adventures!

Don't forget that she needs suncream factor 30+ in order that she doesn't get sunburnt - and a sunhat and sunglasses of course!

In the meantime, Jelly has also arrived in London UK - and whilst we are not able to take her to the dizzy heights of Disney World we will be showing her around our small town.

She will be introduced to the Nursery children tomorrow (Thursday) and will spend her first day getting to know the children, and playing with them in our garden and paddling pool.

Jelly will also take part in a pre-school computer lesson, which will help her when she writes her online blog!

Well, todays the day Jelly will be getting a backstage pass to The Little Mermaid performed by the Fenton Kidz Theatre Kompany. She will meet the actors and pose for some back stage shots. If we are really blessed we will get a picture with some cast members ON THE STAGE!!! We are all very excited!!!

ok, I hope this works, I just learned how to do this.   I am also adding pictures to a photobucket page and will start a picture page on this site for all of our friends if this works.   This is just a couple of the pictures we have received so far, I have a few more to download.

hi, just wanted to let you know that you can go to www.photobucket.com and post pictures under the album username: jellybeanadventure   password is: jellybean

I think I can get this hooked up to the blog page also.  I am just waiting on a call from my niece's boyfriend, but I will share pictures here also.

Thanks Tami and ERin

Hi, Jelly has returned from her trip to Disney Hollywood where she had a great time . She rode the rides and was one of the first to visit the newest attraction, Midway Mania.  She mailed Erin a postcard and sent a special little gift. My Sister, Phyllis, will be posting the wonderful pics of her as soon as she gets them resized and sorted ..she took a gazillion LOL.  She was a big hit with all the Park visitors, and drew comments and Hellos from everyone who met her.

Now that she is back from Disney, her adventures can continue here with me in Dunedin, Florida.

The pictures are so awsome!  Erin was so excited to receive them and see what fun Jelly had.  She cannot wait to show her classmates.   She so much wants to go to Disney now.

We also have some new pictures on there of a sidetrip Jelly took (we did not know about this), but are very excited about it.  After all, you never know where she  is going to go as this is a worldwide adventure and half the fun is not knowing.

I am helping her put 2 photo books together.  One scrapbook that she can add pages up to size 12 x 12 too with all of the pictures, fun stickers, stamps, postcards, etc.  (Jelly even now has a passport book for stamps in it) and a smaller one she is keeping pictures organized in and showing them off to everyone of all of her's and Jelly's new friends and places visited.

She is starting to get quite good at pronouncing new words and looking up places on the globe. (She gives her class regular updates)

I cannot begin to Thank everyone enough for helping us start this adventure and make it a truely exciting adventure for Erin as well as her father and I (as well as other family member that now ask about Jelly).

Sunny & Erin

P.S.  If you need the name and pw for the site, just let me know or anyone that has posted pictures to it and we will give it to you.
