We found this one at a craft store for my then 5 year old son. He loved the idea of making up his own fortunes--we helped him fold his catchers. It really helped develop his fine motor skills--it takes concentration to hold one and manipulate a catcher! The designs are great! Bright and colorful--and there are ready made catches plus blank ones to fill-in too! They come in a spiral note book-type format...they are easy to remove and complete directions are very helpful! :)
This book is printed on very nice, high quality paper. The designs are fun and eye-catching.However, I was really disappointed with the "fortunes".... a lot of boy/girl stuff and for other items I thought the overall tone was flippant, kind of "in your face".I have fond memories of making cootie catchers at Girls Scout Camp many years ago, so I was excited to introduce my kids to them. But I didn't think the overall theme here is appropriate for a seven and nine year old. It is very "worldly" for lack of a better term.There are several blank pages at the back, so you can create your own themes, so that is one redeeming thing. I love Klutz products, but I just don't want my young kids thinking about and "playing" with a lot of boyfriend/girlfriend themed material. I'm passing this one on.
You remember 'Cootie Catchers' don't you?(Although we used to call them "Fortune Tellers".) A paper square is folded and refolded so that there are four "pyramids". The player uses the index finger and thumb from both hands to open and close the pyramids, revealing pictures, numbers, words, or letters on the inside surfaces.The person who is having their fortune told chooses from the pictures once, twice, or three times, and then the paper is unfolded to reveal a "fortune"- a little gem of advice, warning or congratulations, written inside.This kit provides some precolored lovely, intriguing and creative designs ready to cut out and use. More importantly, it has all the guidelines necessary for you to make your own designs using any square piece of paper. You can make them larger or smaller once you have the idea.When my 7-year-old niece got this as a distraction for a long car ride to our vacation, she generously shared the patterns with her 6 and 8-year-old cousins. They stayed in the Cootie Catcher phase for weeks, making their own, with wilder, and more outrageous fortunes.This is a terrific little kit for kids around age 7, and for the inexpensive price, it provides hours of entertainment for car rides and other times when a distraction would help. If it doesn't quite keep them quiet, at least they're having fun!
I bought this book for my 7-year old daughter before we went on a long road trip. I used to play with these as a kid myself (never called them cootie catchers though, LOL). This book comes with dozens of differently designed cootie catchers that kept my daughter busy for hours! The pages are just the right thickness and she was able to figure out how to fold most of them herself.
We used to do it ourselves and there might be more creativity to that... But these cute little phrases are fun. Stickers, glow in the dark... Silliness.They are colorful, well made and a hit in the car or in lunch boxes as a surprise. This entertains 4-8 year old girls with its simplicity.I also bought cats in the cradle (great gift) and love it... This brand it something my sister and I enjoyed 20 years ago.Also have their paper airplanes--- great gift!
We got this book for my daughter's 7th birthday. She was not able to rip out the pages and fold them together on her own, but she loves to tell you your fortune! Many of her friends are only 6 and can't read well yet, and they loved them anyway. Lots of fun!
I bought this for my daughter, and she loves it. She made a bunch of them and took them to school - a big hit with all of her friends. The colors make them a little more interesting than the home done ones I grew up on. Good fun.
I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She is always making these at school. Book has fun designs the girls can rip out and use and ideas to make their own. I think she will love this. I certainly like it :)
