Help!

My mom wants to know what something is called & for the life of me I can't remember.

Do you remember when you were school & you make this thing out of paper that had numbers on it & you would open & close it based on the number you picked & then open it & it would say something inside. I can't remember. I'm gonna try & see if I can remember how to make.

Thanks in advance.

I know what it is that you're talking about, but I don't know the name either. You have to start out with a square piece of paper. Then I think that you fold the corners into the center. Then I think that you turn it over and fold the points into the center again. Then bring the points together and put your fingers in the flaps on the back side. I suppose that I made that as clear as mud!!! Oh my!!!!

I know exactly what you are talking about, but I don't think I ever knew a name for it. I used to LOVE making those when I was in elementary school.

This is what I thought too. So I searched fortune teller & did find a website that told you how to make them & called my mom back. The kid asking about it is only like 6 years old, I don't remember playing with them until I was in middle school, but oh well. The kid is pretty spoiled, he is the son of my mom's horse show friend & he had saw one at school & wanted his mom to make to make him one, but they didn't know how, so they called my mom, who called me. If I was his mom, I would of said tomorrow at school why don't you make friends with the kid that has it & ask him to show you how.

Here's the site I found incase you now all wanna make your own.
