Paper Fortune Tellers

I love making these with the grandkids... I made so many when I was a kid that I can do them in my sleep!LOL! I make them extra big and make birthday cards out of them!!

u remind me of my childhood days,

Yes I definately remember these. I used to make them all the time. Its not too difficult once you get the hang of it. We used to write all kinds of silly fortunes. they were a lot of fun. I think I've made over 50 of these. We used to try to make teeny tiny ones and giant ones.

Oh boy, I had never seen these until my son get to elementary school. He absolutel loves them. I find them all over his room. He makes those paper spinner things too and, decorates them so that they look really cool when they spin. I am gonna check out the site so I can learn how to make them. He tried to show me but I can be really slow and he can be impatient when it comes to teaching. LOL

We called them "cootie catchers". There were real big when I was younger and all the girls had a new one every week. I used to know how to make them, but I have forgotten. That seems to happen with so many things...

OMG!!! Talk about a blast from the past..geez! LOL. We used to play with these all the times, but the names of guys we liked, and just play and play til it fell on the right name LOL. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I am going to send that link to my cousin. She will get a kick out of it

I remember these quite well but did have some difficulty making them at the start. After a little practise and of course a lot of patience, all went well. But as for making them today, even with instructions I would most likely struggle.

i do remember! thanks for the link i have never been able to make one either lol!

Gosh, this really is a blast from the past. I remember these from way back in grade school. We had so much fun making and using them. And then my daughter came home from school with them and I was surprised to see them still around! Looks like this is something each generation comes across and still thinks are fun. I'm going to bookmark the link. Who knows, when grandchildren come along eventually, I will be doing this with them as well. Thanks for the memory. ...Whit

I sure do remember them. We used to make them all the time. I was really surprised when my grandson brought one home from school. I didn't know they were still around.

It is quite interesting. Normally parents and grandparents use this type of games to pass their time with children. Some of them use it for for confidence building in the minds the kids. YOu can try in your way. This a way to attact kids to teach good things. We can do this in stimulating their reasoning power

Ya I used to make those all the time. I still make them sometimes, I have been trying to think of something to do with them crafty like so I can sell them but havn't gotten any good ideas yet.

i remember that when i was in the third grade people used to make these things and i used to get so mad because i could not for the life of me figure out how to make them i used to get my friend to make them for me then finally in middle school i learned how to make them when i got into doing orgami they were such a distraction in class as i would sit in school and make them instead of paying attention to the teacher

I used to love playing with them, and when I could do them, they were great. Thanks for the link to the site, I will save it to a favourite so I can get the kids to make them as well.

oh yeah.... we used to do them in school. They were fun.......

These things were so much fun. I remember having different ones in "themes".... Thanks for the memories!

HEHEE I remember those. They were a hoot to do with my friends. They would be popular for a while then you wouldn't see them, then out of the blue they would be popular and everyone in the school had one. Thanks for the link. I will make them and pass on the tradition now to my children. When I go to their school every child there will be sporting one of these in their hands. LOL Vicki

Wow, that's a blast from the past lol. I can remember making them by the dozen at school and having competitions to see who could make the smallest. They used to keep us amused for ages.
