ELF Corner

The "ELF Corner" appears quarterly in Vermont Nature magazine. It is a fun and informational sheet designed for children. Often the lessons and activities in the ELF Corner complement one of the units in ELF, but each one can stand alone as well. Below are some of the ELF Corner sheets from the recent past, and some links to more information on the selected topic. Enjoy!
