SEWdaugh Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 My daughter's second grade class has finished reading the book Flat Stanley and they are going to send their own Stanleys out in the mail next week. We're looking for someone who would be willing to host Stanley over the holidays and mail him back to our school by January 16th. Here are the guidelines: -United States only -will take pictures of Flat Stanley visiting local landmarks and participating in fun activities (geocaching preferred) and mail them back to us with Flat Stanley -will mail Stanley and the pictures back so we receive them by January 16th We don't get out to geocache as much as we used to and we thought it would be fun to send Stanley out for us and visit the places we would like to go geocaching. We will also put a Travel Bug tracking number on him so he can be logged on this site. If you would be willing to host Stanley, please contact me (Stephanie) through our profile and let me know by December 17th. We have an unactivated SEWdaugh Team Hockey jersey geocoin as thanks for helping. Quote Link to comment

+Ambient_Skater Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Why only the United States? We have an entire country up here in Canada too you know. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 We took my wife's nephews flat Stanley for a two month caching trip awhile ago. Ran into another one that was 6'feet tall Quote Link to comment

+Gan Dalf Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Why only the United States? We have an entire country up here in Canada too you know. Flat Stanley is used as a tool to teach kids about geography. Perhaps the class is studying United States Geography ONLY and so the kids are being told to send their Flat Stanley's out only to locations in the United States. Besides, Canada doesn't really count and it costs too much to mail stuff there... :laughing: Quote Link to comment

+Walts Hunting Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It doesn't take anymore time or cost much more to mail an envelope to Canada which is what Flat Stanley is. My wife did a great job with ours and we did an album with notes and pictures plus souvenirs of different locations to send back at the end of the semester. Another students friend did a PowerPoint presentation. Quote Link to comment
