The VANISHING ELVES
or "are you sure you counted correctly?"
Updated August 2010

If you are using INTERNET EXPLORER, please continue. If you are using another browser, the dragging [sliding] of the panels may not work, so go here to print the four pieces and work it out yourself. Sorry!




Move the four panels above to bring together the tops and bottoms of the Elves. (There are two top panels and two bottom ones.) Some of these Mystical Elves will hide on you when you arrange the panels differntly! Drag [slide] a panel by clicking and holding down your mouse button. Are there 13, 14, or 15 ? .... See how few or how many you can get, by moving the pieces around. The images should be touching but not overlapping. Have fun!"

Instructions for NETSCAPE and OTHER BROWSWER users.

If your browser won't let you slide the elves on the screen, Print the following graphics on cardstock. Cut the four pieces. Now arrange them in several ways and count the number of elves each time. You will find, 13, 14, 15 at different positions. [On a personal note, I have a set painted on plywood and when we have company they are well used]
