Difficulty: Easy

The paper fortune teller, sometimes called a cootie catcher, is an origami toy that children absolutely love to play with. It’s very easy to make and children can use their imagination to think of what fortunes to write.

Here’s how to play. Ask a friend to pick a number from 1 to 10. Then open and close the fortune teller while counting to and stopping at the chosen number. Then ask your friend to pick a color. After a color is picked, open the flap containing that color and read the prewritten fortune to him or her.
