A fortune teller is also called a cootie catcher, chatterbox, salt cellar, whirlybird, or paku-paku is an origami toy that children absolutely love to play with. It’s very easy to make and children can use their imagination to think of what fortunes to write.
Parts of the fortune teller are labelled with colors or numbers that serve as options for a player to choose from, and on the inside are eight flaps, each concealing a message. The person operating the fortune teller manipulates the device based on the choices made by the player, and finally one of the hidden messages is revealed. These messages may purport to answer questions (hence the name) or they may be activities that the player must perform.
