Cootie Catchers/ Fortune Teller DIY!

Have you ever played and/or crafted a cootie catcher as a kid? If so, has your child? I remember making these during my youth and having so much fun. However, I do not believe my kids have made one. So, I found this fun Cootie Catcher/ Fortune Teller DIY project! Want to make this DIY craft yourself? If so, be sure to have:

• Letter Sized Sheet of Paper

Helpful Hint: When I made this craft with my own kids, I made it along with them. It helped them see how I was making the craft as well. Plus, I kept extra paper out, in case of mistakes.
