Paco had a great sleep over last week! He stayed up late and watched movies, read books, and made up stories! What fun. Paco really likes mysteries. They make him feel like a detective. Check out his latest storyboard to help YOU create your own story. Paco would love to see how your story turns out. If you complete one, share it with him in the comments below, send him an email, or you could even send him a postcard!

Paco had a blast at the Trampoline park this week with his friend Olive. Did you see her on the postcard? She was flying just like Paco! What a special treat it was for Paco to spend some time with his friend. Trampolines are an amazing way to get exercise and have some fun! 

Paco doesn't have a trampoline at home. But you know what he says?
"No trampoline? No problem!" Check out Paco's favorite ways to jump in his activity sheet below. Are you ready to get airborne?

​Paco had a great time presenting to his class this week. He wasn’t able to be in person, but he was live and it was great! Have you ever done a Share and Tell with your class, your family, or a few friends? It is a great way to learn new things about the people you interact with.
 
To help you put together your very own Share and Tell, Paco created a new activity for you to use. Just find a special object, thing, or token that you’d like to share with others then check out the worksheet for questions that will help you Share and Tell with your audience! What will you share this week?

Paco is really enjoying the SNOW! He had a fun week playing outside building snowmen, making snowballs, sledding, and creating snow angels. There are so many snow play activities for those of us that live in snowy places. What are your favorites? 

Have you ever heard the saying 'no two snowflakes are alike'? It is a common phrase and it is mostly true. Snowflakes are very unique. Finding a perfect match is like one in a billion! That's pretty rare so Paco has made a new activity for you to find that perfect match today. Just print Paco's latest activity Find the Match, and look for that rare snowflake perfect match. Can you find it?

Have fun and stay warm out there! 
 

Have you ever received a friendship bracelet? Have you ever made one? Paco met a new friend this week and is going to make her a friendship bracelet to celebrate their new bond. Whenever she wears it, she will be reminded of Paco! Check out this DIY video to learn how to make friendship bracelets too! Paco is making the first bracelet shown in the video. Is that the one you'll try? 
​

Paco created instructions and a template for making a bracelet wheel. If you make one, Paco would love to see it. Send him a letter, describe it in the comments, or email a photo. He is so happy that you are his friend!

Happy Thanksgiving! Paco is grateful for YOU, all of his postcard friends and his family. What are you grateful for? 

Paco had a wonderful day with his family. They played board games, watched football on the television and then played their own game of football in the backyard. They also ate a lot of delicious food. Paco still feels full! Are you feeling full too?

While you relax and enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend, you can try to solve Paco's Thanksgiving word search. It includes some of Paco's favorite things! Can you find them all?

Have you ever played chess? Paco just played last week! Did you know, the longest chess game in recorded history lasted 269 moves and actually ended in a draw. A "draw" means that no one won - they tied! Can you believe that? That must have been a really long game. The average game only lasts 38 moves and takes anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes to play.

If you want to learn how to play, or teach a friend who does not know, Paco has a really cool video that teaches all of the moves. Check it out!

He also created a cheat sheet for you, a board and all of the pieces. It can be hard to remember what moves each piece can make, so the cheat sheet really comes in handy! Find a friend or family member to play with and have fun. 

Paco had a great visit at the hospital this week. Have you ever visited someone in the hospital? A visit with a friend is great medicine. Whether is a simple runny nose or a more serious need for surgery, sometimes friends and family members just need a little pick me up! Join Paco in creating a Get Well Card for anyone in your life who isn't feeling their best.  

Just download the pdf, print the cards, fold along the lines, write a special message and make someone's day extra special. Be well friends!
