Is there a pattern or template for cutting out the flat? I'm a terrible artist and would prefer to have a pattern to trace and cut.
Hi, Im new here. I hope I am not too late to join here. I was referred by my friend Lindina to join homeschool spot and the Flat traveller project thingy. I'm really keen to join but as we live in South Africa I may only be able to host smallish Stanley's cos postage is so high (bothways). I'd love to show them our game parks with giraffe, elephant and such (just outside our town) African cultures such as the Xhosa, landscapes of S.Africa and such. Is it too late to join?
Your flat can be anything. A drawing your child does of a boat or car. An animal or whatever. It doesn't have to be of a person.
Nope, not too late at all! I'll have a list up tomorrow of who is swapping with whom. Then you can arrange to trade addresses.
Just to make sure~Do WE only send out our flat or do we include letters,photos,etc. to the hosting family? I'm sorry.I'm dense
When you send your Flat by Wednesday (though I'm still looking for one Flat to go out tomorrow... if there are any takers) you are just sending your Flat.
We can send one of our flats today if you need it? They finished them yesterday they were so excited and I put Contact paper on them last night.
Sorry ladies, this cold is really kicking my butt. I'm going to make the list right now. I'm late and I apologize for it.
Alright ladies, here's the list. The first name is who the host is. The second is who they are hosting for. Some of you were willing to host more than you were sending, but that wasn't necessary. Next step is to find your name on the left and PM your address to the person next to your name. For instance, Mom2Five needs to send her address to Birbitt and CindyMae, since she is hosting for each of them.

Our flats will be going out Tuesday or Wednesday-I've sent and received my 2 PMs for swapping. I had planned on working on the flats this evening but we had friends invite us over for a steak dinner and they kids said they ant to spend the night with them so, change of plans We'll work on them tomorrow and Monday And thanks again for putting this together-with a cold even! Hope you are feeling better.
Well our flats are done, but won't go out until later in the week when I can make it to the post office. I am excited. My ds 6 was not that into it. Until I told him it was like the calvin and hobbs cartoon where calvin becomes flat and is like a piece of paper. Then he was excited about it and willing to help. His flat looks like Calvin too. ; )
I know this is late to ask, but my dd13 made one and wants to swap with someone. I really didn't think she'd be interested at her age! Would anybody be willing to host it for her? We can return the favor. If anyone would like to, please PM me with your address. Thanks in advance
Thanks for doing this Amie!! How cool! Unfortunatly I have to do most of the construction on son's flat, since he's 3, but he's coloring the clothes, and helping with the hair! lol
