Do you know Flat Stanley?

Flat Stanley is a project for school classrooms that helps them learn about the geography and culture of the rest of the world.  The students create a “Stanley” and send him around the world.  There are a variety of ways to do this — from mailing Stanley to friends and family around the world to sending him off on adventures of his own — with the end result that kids learn about the places Stanley has been and the things that he would do there.

On a recent flight I found Flat Stanley properly stowing his bags in the overhead compartment.  He was off on a great adventure, and how exciting for the kids to learn all about it.
