It is meant to facilitate letter writing by schoolchildren to each other as they document where Flat Stanley has gone with them, The Project provides an opportunity for students to make connections with students of other member schools who've signed up with the project, Students begin by reading the book and becoming acquainted with the story, Then they make paper "Flat Stanleys" or pictures of the Stanley Lambchop character and keep a journal for a few days, documenting the places and activities in which Flat Stanley is involved.
The Flat Stanley and the journal are mailed to other people who are asked to treat the figure as a visiting guest and add to his journal, then return them both after a period of time.
