My son has a project called flat Stanley where he has to mail out a paper person to somewhere in the world. The recipient will take him on a few local adventures taking pictures along the way and send them back. This will take place in the next 30 days.

Does anyone care to help take flat Stanley around your hometown to 2-4 places.

Thanks much
Tim

One of the ladies at work did this for a kid a while back. It looked like a neat project!
I'd be happy to take Stanley on a tour, if Virginia is "far away" enough.




God bless America.

This place can do better than that- let's send Flat Stanley all over. He can go to VA, then up the coast and come flatbedding in New England with me, then I can send him to the next member, and so on...
What's the Flat Stanley deadline?

A couple weeks could have Stanley all over the country!

Using the internet, we could send a printable image which the host prints and then places in photographs. Stanley could even be in multiple places at the same time.

If you can do it on the 'net, I'm happy to help from central Mexico. I have some cool pictures. I've taken over 5,000 in the past 2 years. I don't get physical mail here however.

It gets mailed from the school so it will need to be somewhere that has a physical mailing address. Keep it coming guys and gals

I travel from Southern ME to Central ME and into New Hampshire weekly if that might work for you.

I'm not in a far off place anymore.

When I lived in Alaska, my childhood neighbor (we went to elementary, jr high, and high school together) mailed me her daughter's flat stanley. I mailed it to my friend who was living in Dubai, she sent it to Houston with a coworker on a business trip, and it was mailed back to my hometown. She had the most widely traveled flat stanley in the class.

I have family in Berlin, and a cousin that's a doctor. I'm sure she'd be into this.

I'm in china for just a bit longer. Unfortunately sending it here would be expensive, slow and it might not make it.

I live near Oliver Cromwell's home town, Huntingdon, in East Anglia - that's Eastern England for those not overly familiar with the place. We have still got a bunch of 'Flat Stanley' paperbacks from when our daughter was small...
