If you have kids, you’re probably already well-acquainted with Flat Stanley. On the one hand, you might think it’d be a drag to only be half an inch thick… but on the other, you fit lots of places and can mail yourself around for adventures and stuff. Hee.

Right now Amazon has the Flat Stanley Collection Box Set (4 books) for just $7.50. This would be a great gift either for a child you love or for donation—these are really fun books. And then you can make your own Flat Stanley and mail him around, too.

(Dropping a bulletin board on an actual child in an effort to flatten him, though, is not recommended.)
