ETA: It's a school project, based on a book series, where kids (usually elementary-age), make a paper person and take or send them on adventures.

No, never heard of it, I had to look that up to see what it was.
I didn’t, my sister did.
Never heard of it.
I did!! Was a really fun project.
Nope never heard of it
I didn’t but my brother did. He was really into his Flat Stanley
Graduated high-school in Wisconsin in the early 2000s, I never did. A coworker of mine brought her nieces’ on a trip back in the 2010s, that was the first time Id heard of it.
Yes! Flat Stanley! Childhood memory unlocked. Definitely a thing where I grew up in California
I don’t know what this is. Maybe explain it in your post next time?
I had never heard of it until my kids did it, but my wife knew what it was
Yes. Then he got lost adventuring in Hong Kong lol
Never heard of it
Yup- NJ in the 2000s
No, but the school mascot was a gator, so my daughter had to take a plush “Ally Gator” home for a week and write a journal about what they did together. My favorite was the photo of her looking sad because Ally wasn’t tall enough to go on a rollercoaster when they went to an amusement park.
I had to look that up too. It was started by a teacher 5 years after I graduated high school, so no I did not do one in school.
Yes!
No — I was 17 when the Flat Stanley Project started. Though the book is from before I was born.
Yes, I went to school in Illinois
Yeah! I sent it to my uncle who was a fisherman in Alaska and he sent back all kinds of cool photos of life on the boat with my flat stanley. I think I was in first grade. Mine was the coolest in the class by far and I rode that high till the end of the year lol
Some other friends who also grew up around New England all did it around the same age.
One of my kids did. We sent him to my sister-in-law’s family in Australia.
I didn’t, but I remember when a younger cousin did. He sent it to my dad who traveled a lot for work and loved to do creative fun stuff. There were some great pictures that came out of that.
No. I have never heard of this and do not understand why it would be a school project. Making paper dolls and taking them on adventures was a thing I did for fun. O_o
Yep! Mine got sent to El Paso. Not sure what happened to it. Didn’t have any family to send it to so it was sent to a random person my teacher knew
No
No. But I did have a flat (head) Stanley (brand) screwdriver at one point.

Did it in California in the 90’s/early 00’s
No, too old. But GenZ kid did!
There’s also a sort of Flat Stanley for adults from a Milwaukee area grocery store: [https://www.sendiks.com/about-us/where-in-the-world-2](https://www.sendiks.com/about-us/where-in-the-world-2)
