The Twelve Magic Changelings 

by M.A. Glen, 1907

The following paper dolls have been cleaned and recolorized by kathy grimm for little ones to print, cut and assemble.

How to Make Mary and Her Lamb:

Cut out the two double figures. Fold on the dotted lines marked AAAA so that the upper part of each of the four figures projects forward as shown in the small picture X. Fold on the lines marked BB where the figures join each other so that the colored surfaces face outward, and then, beginning at the feet, paste the front view of Mary to the back view of the lamb as far as the dotted lines AA. In the same way paste the front view of the lamb to the back view of Mary -- as far up as the lines AA. Now past together the front and back of the upper part of Mary. Then paste together the front and back of the upper part of the lamb. Cut off the letters AAAABB.

Now if the lamb is held by the feet and turned inside out, Mary will appear, and vice versa. Make all the other changelings in precisely the same way.

The Changelings will stand alone. If they do not stand firmly after you have turned them, pinch them slightly along the dotted lines that were marked AAAA.
