In my 5th grade class, we had a Flat Stanley. We sent Flat Stanley all over the place and learned about all kinds of places. The point of Flat Stanley was to encourage literacy and learning in kids. It also encourages learning about other geographical locations.
For my distance project, I'm going to collaborate with a fashion designer in Chicago and make a kind of Flat Stanley... but out of fabric. It will combine the traditional fabrics of the rural midwest with the high fashion fabrics of big cities. One half of the doll will represent the rural and the other side will represent the urban.
I will think of it as a grown up Flat Stanley.
