International Marketing Review – Flat Stanley travels the world
There is a project used for kids called Flat Stanley where students make paper Flat Stanleys and begin a journal with him. Then Flat Stanley and the journal are sent to family or freinds who are asked to treat Flat Stanley as a guest and complete the journal. Flat Stanley and the journal are then returned to the original sender. Students can plot his travels on maps and share the contents of the journal. Often, a Flat Stanley returns with a pin or postcard from his visit. Especially creative hosts send the Flat Stanleys back with pictures, souvenirs, stories and reminders of the visit.
