Join the New Homeschool Flat Traveler Exchange Group + Giveaway
The folks at Education Possible have created a new Homeschool Flat Traveler Exchange group to help families from across the country (and maybe even the world) build friendships and explore new places like never before!
The Homeschool Flat Traveler Exchange – by Education Possible is loosely based on the Flat Stanley series of books by Jeff Brown. In the original story a young boy named Stanley is “flattened” when a large bulletin board falls on him. Don’t worry — Stanley not only survives being flattened, he finds creative ways to use his new shape. One of his favorite activities is visiting his friends by being mailed in envelopes around the country!
Based on the popularity of this story, “Flat Traveler” exchanges were started to provide pen pal type opportunities for young students. Children send their “flat traveler” (like a paper doll) to another student, document their travels with the flat traveler for a few days using a journal, and then return the Flat Traveler back to his or her original home.
Homeschoolers understand that learning happens everywhere, however it isn’t always possible to take our kids to some of the far off places we would like to visit. That is why this new exchange program just for homeschoolers is unique — it will help homeschoolers come together to learn and explore the world around them.
Some of the benefits of this program include helping our children:
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Explore geography by “visiting” new places with the help of their Flat Travelers
- Practice writing, journaling, and research skills
- Learn important social skills like time management, task completion, and sharing with others
This program is open to homeschool children of all ages.
To join the program families complete an online enrollment form and then join the Flat Traveler Exchange Facebook group. Within the group you will find FREE downloadable templates for Flat Travelers and Travel Journals. You will also be able to meet new families and arrange for Flat Traveler Exchanges.

To help kick off the program they are also offering a GIVEAWAY of Flat Stanley books, an atlas, maps and more.
Happy travels!
