Paper Fortunes

[SusanReed]

Hey girls.. Need a little help. Can you remember the names of those paper gadgets we used to make? here is a pic: Barely There® I do remember the boys calling them cootie catchers.. but, what the heck is the real name?

 

[JoeyJo21]

Wow I remember those! I just checked out that site you listed and it told me a diamond is in my future! That's one good future I really can't remember the name of them for the life of me though.

Would it be origami?

 

[SusanReed]

The art of it is called origami.. I know the boys in school called them cootie catchers.. ha ha but, the girls called them something else.. so, why do I remember the silly name from the boys?...

 

[Baby Boo]

[blushingbaby]

[lv-lover]

^^me too...i don't know what else they might be called.

 

[icechick]

Uhm...don't know if that helps but we call them beaks in icelandic, as in a birds beak.

 

[twinkle.tink]

We called them cootie catchers, too...not just the boys...sometimes fortune tellers.

 

[ArmCandyLuvr]

Honestly, I don't remember what they were called either. I just remember making them all the time.

Wow - that brings back memories! I don't remember ever calling them anything, though. I made bunches of those in the 4th - 5th grades, I think.

My kids are really into these.... but I just called home to ask the name...and got an uncertain answer....origami future! Anyway...maybe that is what the kids in Asia call them!!!
