Following the numbered dots, erase the lines between them until the hidden image is disclosed.
Erase using a graphics program, or print out the puzzle and use white-out or trace it with a pencil and then erase.
like this, but better

Finding hidden images in pictures has long been a staple of children's puzzles. I don't think you need to number anything. |

Adorable. How creative! + |

T'would be better if the lines - to - be - erased crisscrossed the picture - to - be - uncovered. |

No, you erase the numbered dots, the lines between them and the numbers. The result (lines between unnumbered dots) is a stylised image of what you find at the upper left of this page. |

Sounds like a great excuse to invent the graphite printer or the erasable ink printer cartridge. |
|
| |
Does it mean I've been around too long when I start forgetting and recreating my own ideas? Guess what I found when I searched for erasable (see link). |

FarmerJohn, nice 1/2 crescent on a plate. |

I saw a similar game with an alarm clock, a thermos and a mass of wiring. It was called "disconnect the terrorist device". How disarmingly simple... |

Yes, but in [FarmerJohn]'s idea, nobody dies, riposte. Unless, of course, the parents are abusive AND want a brilliant kid. Then, maybe. |

A graphite printer would be so great. |
|
| |
Just look at the lines not numbered, the image is obvious, I think kids would get bored. I used to try to visualize the picture before filling in the dots, I think that was halfway the point, at least. Its harder to cheat like this with a bunch of dots on a page than a bunch of numbered and unnumbered lines. |

The book should come with a mini "pencil" with an eraser at each end. |
