1 Square a sheet of paper (see square, page 38). Fold the
square, as shown by the dashed lines. Be sure to make sharp creases on
all the folds for this project.
Open the paper and fold each corner into the center. Keep the paper
folded. Turn it over and fold each corner into the center again.Each of the four corner flaps has two sections. Color each of these
eight sections a different color.
Print the name of a career, such as artist, writer, nurse, doctor,
singer, and so on, in each section.
Pick any eight careers you like.
Turn the paper over. In each of the eight sections on this side,
write a number from 1 to 8.Fold the paper in half, with the colored career flaps on the inside.
Hold the paper in both hands and push your hands together. Open the
numbered flaps so they form cones.Hold the fortuneteller between the thumb and first finger of each
hand. To see one group of careers, press the cones together and move
your hands back and forth. To see the other group of careers, keep
your hands together and open and close your fingers.To tell a fortune, ask a friend to pick a number from 1 to 8. Open
and close the fortuneteller this number of times. Then show your
friend the career behind the number. This is what he or she will
grow up to be.
