The story that started “Flat Daddy”, and how to create one yourself:
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 (highest quality 8x10 color photo) of him, dressed in fatigues, to a local print shop. 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.I like this idea so much I'm going to make me a flat Brad Pitt, a flat Johnny Depp, a flat George Clooney, etc. On second thought, maybe I'd like inflatable versions...
