The
Flat Family Project
(Visit
the Flat Family Project blog - create an account to post text and pictures)
The
Flat Family Project is Dale Hubert's variation on his Flat Stanley
Project. It is very similar to the Flat Stanley Project and at this
time still uses the same List of Participants and the same Picture
Gallery and blogs. The difference is that instead of being restricted
to a Stanley as the flat character, all family members and even their
pets are available as flattened figures. This opens the door to more
female characters being sent as well as extended family members.
There's the possibility of cross-generational exchanges now that
grandparents are part of the flat family.
Give your characters
any names you choose - name them after yourself and the members of your
family. Send along flat pets to keep them company. Use digital
manipulation or an old-fashioned drop of glue to attach a picture of
your face on the Flat Stanley that you are sending and now it's a Flat
You! Write your own Flat Family story and post it to the blog.

Afghanistan. The Flat Family Project is a great way for families who
are separated to keep in touch.
