Based on this . A neat way to introduce kids to keeping a journal / letter writing, & geography.
My 6 year old niece sent me her rendition of Flat Stanley the other day, and I began taking photos of him at various places in the Myrtle Beach area.
Then figured if Stanley can be mailed, why can’t he be emailed? And, since Dopers are a worldly bunch, wouldn’t the Teeming Millions want to show off their corners of this Third Rock, and in the process give my niece a kick-ass geography lesson?
So, after receiving permission from the mods (Thank you !), I scanned Stanley into a pdf file and a jpeg file (the 2 most familiar formats, I hope), and I wish to send him out into the interwebs, and, through you guys & gals, into the world.
I’m not asking anyone to go out of their way for this – just print the picture, cut him out, put him someplace interesting, snap a photo, and email it back to me, with a brief description of where he is (all locations will be plotted on a world map) and what he’s “doing”, and that’s it.
I’ll try to set up a Photobucket album & post the photos.
If you want to partake, please email me through my profile, and I’ll send the pdf & jpeg to you straight away. Some additional instructions will be sent in the email.
I’d like to set a cut-off date of Wednesday, March 26, 2008 for this, so that will give you 8 days to show off your locales.
P.S. When I told my niece what I planned on doing, she told me that she would love love LOVE it if Stanley could be photographed with the Sydney Opera House in the background, so please, Aussie Dopers, make her day!
