Flat DaddyHave you heard about Flat Daddy and the wonderful way it’s being used to help children stay connected to a deployed parent. It's not just for the kids to enjoy, He’s also filling the “blank space” in family occasion photos, event and trips. Just look at the pictures to see all the places he’s been! It’s exciting.  ...
 ...
The story that started “Flat Daddy” (Kind of like Flat Stanley if any of your kids have done this in school) Cindy, and her 19 month old daughter Sarah, introduce you to Flat Daddy. Three months after Sarah’s dad was deployed, Cindy took a "waist up" photo of him, dressed in fatigues. They enlarged it to life size and mounted it on foam board - like a big, two-dimensional paper doll. "He was missing so many family gatherings" said Cindy. So, Flat Daddy traveled to graduations, weddings, and other celebrations where he took his rightful place in the photographs Copies of the photos were sent to Daddy overseas so he could see where he'd traveled. Cindy keeps an album at home of everywhere Flat Daddy has been...even tucking Sarah into bed. Speaking of Sarah, real Daddy received a Flat Sarah, minus the foam board, so he could see how much she'd grown.  ...
If this is something you would like to have please email me as soon as possible so we can get started and we will see what we can do. If possible we are looking to get the supplies for this project donated, so there is no cost to you or the FRG. Jacki Butler |
