I don't know what these are really called, but chances are, you all remember them. Searcy's sent one to Zoe for her birthday and it was so fun I had to make them for Liam and Lydia also. One thing that is so fun about them is you can customize the insides to fit what interests your child has at the time. Instead of telling fortunes ours had actions. Such as: "make a funny face", "hop on one foot", or "try to make someone laugh". They can also include questions: "What is your favorite food"?To make them (if you don't recall), take a square of paper (8.5X8.5 works, we used 12X12) crease down the middle both ways and unfold. Take the corners and fold each one into the middle, lining them up perfectly. Turn the paper over and fold in each corner to the middle(just like the other side). At this point it is ready for labeling and playing. Let me know if you need instructions from here.

I haven’t thought of these in ages. I’m sure, though, that Gwennie will be thrilled when we make one with her – in fact, she’s memorized at least one recent fortune cookie prediction, and quotes it to us frequently.
We make these in church and the kids decorate them as animals. So fun!
