We’ve all heard of Flat Stanley, yes? Well, Natalie’s class is doing a really cool social studies project in conjunction with learning the geography of the United States. It has to do with their little flat selves traveling as many places as they can this year.
I’m gonna put it out there…. I’d like Flat Natalie to be the winner of traveling to the most states. I’m slightly competitive. This is where you guys come in…..
Here’s how it works. Flat Natalie is in an 8.5×11 manila envelope with a journal. You need to:
1. Write an entry in the journal about your adventure with Flat Natalie and attach a photo.
2. Mark where you are located on the US map located inside the journal.
3. Send a post card to Natalie at her elementary school to let her know where Flat Natalie is visiting.
4. Make sure to pass Flat Natalie on to another person within 10 days.
Anyone out there willing to give this a shot? If so, email me at leighann (underscore) marquiss (at) yahoo (dot) com and let me know your address. I’ll give you the address to the school and another address of an interested party. (this means you have to be okay with me giving your address to someone who reads my blog) Between our siblings we have Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, Vermont and Georgia taken care of. I’m looking for anyone traveling or living in the other states!
Flat Natalie played wii at our house… what will she do with your family?

If Flat Natalie would like to visit Houston, we’d love to entertain her 🙂
This summer my husband was unable to join me and our daughters for a day in NYC. We made Flat Daddy to photo along the way. We actually made two versions – one with an easel stand on the back and the other with strings so he could “walk” along with us. He was on the train, attended a vocal master class, got a facial at Macy’s, ate at Steak and Shake and helped pick out t-shirts for the grands. I sent both Flat Daddy’s home to the grands – they were thrilled to have Grandpas to play with! We live in PA – otherwise we’d love to have Flat Natalie visit us!
I am from NJ and would be glad to help out. I belong to a BB on line of moms from ALL over (Canada included) so I could pass along if you would like.
I am from NJ so I could help you out. I know people from all different states so I might be able to help that way also.
I live in the mountains of TN. I would love to have Fat Natalie visit us and see the fall foliage of the mountains, goats, sheep, donkeys and chickens. I could then send her to my daughter in South Mississippi and let her see the Gulf of Mexico. My address is 1155 Davis Valley Road Afton, TN. 37616
Does she have any favorite foods? Tomorrow is grocery day, don’t want her to be hungry!!!
Can Flat Natalie go to Ontario Canada? I’d love to have her visit. I might even be able to get her to New Bruinswick, Alberta and British Columbia too!
I’m in. This is awesome. We need to make them win. I know ppl in Indiana, North Carolina, and Kentucky if you want me to ask…. Can I put it in my facebook status and ask ppl? My competitive spirit is coming out!
Also I’m going to Illinois 2 days a week if you want that too 😉
I just emailed you! I would love to help! I’m in MA!
We are missionaries in Taiwan, so you probably don’t want to send flat Natalie here… but we have kids/family who live in Oregon & Colorado. I have a friend who teaches in Alabama and another who lives in Everett, Washington who would probably do it as well.
Let me know if flat Natalie would like to visit Charlotte, NC! I live ten minuets from the SC line so She could visit both states! I remember doing this same project 🙂
What a fab thing to do!!! Would love to have her, but sadly I live in the UK!!! More than welcome here thou!
Flat Natalie can visit with some Pittsburgh natives in Las Vegas!
I live in NC (which looks like it’ll be covered) however I’ll be traveling to London and Paris next week and would love to take Flat Natalie with me. I realize it’s not exactly U.S. geography but what could be better than a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower!!
Does she get bonus points for foreign countries? I’m currently living in Botswana…
Mary – unfortunately they are only studying the US map this year. Botswana would be sooo fun!
If no one from Indiana has offered please feel free to email me! I am a teacher and I LOVE these kind of activities!
I believe we have Indiana, Holly. But I will check. Thanks!
How about Mississippi. We are in the country. I’ll send you my address just in case she needs to come to visit me.
I live in Chicago, IL- I would be happy to help.
Would love to host her here in Virginia/DC if you don’t have anyone. 🙂
