A fortune teller

When I was a child I made a lot of fortune tellers with my friends.

You can make a fortune teller by making a square piece of paper. Fold one corner over to the opposite side. Then fold the two opposite ends of the triangle together, forming a smaller triangle. Open the paper up (unfolding all the folds). Fold a corner into the central point. You must repeat with the opposite corner and then with the other two corners. You'll end up with a square. Flip the paper over. Fold a corner over to the centre. Repeat again with the opposite corner. Fold over the two others corners. You'll end up with a smaller square. Fold the square in half. Unfold and fold in half the other direction. Unfold and pull the four ends together. Pick up each square flaps. Now you can move the four parts and you must paint it.

Flip it over, and write 8 numbers on the triangular flaps and 8 fortunes inside the flaps. The fortune teller is finish.

To play with them a person chooses one of the four colours and the four numbers. Then, you read her “fortune”.
