Tell your friends' fortunes with a cootie catcher.

Cootie catchers, also known as fortune tellers, are a popular craft for kids to make. A cootie catcher is paper that has been folded by hand to form four flaps with "fortunes" written on them. Cootie catchers are fun to play with when you know how to hold and move them with your fingers. Write colors, numbers or characters on the flaps to create fun fortunes to reveal to your friends.
