I think it’s a bit of a storytelling when the child is writing those predictions. What a playful and fun way for children to write using their imagination.
The predictions we’ve written on the eight quadrants of the fortune teller range from how the day will unfold to how you’ll feel to what gifts you might receive to what places you might visit! Pari likes to use stickers for the first (top layer) of the fortune teller and it looks beautiful. Reusing old artwork that we otherwise might have discarded over time is my favourite. I’ve made for her with colourful origami papers, with magazine pages, with her (and mine) artwork. Of-course she wanted me to make one for her and I’ve never stopped making ever since.īesides the fact that the paper fortune teller game can keep children (and adults alike!) busy for hours – at home or during travel, you’ll be surprised to know there are some great learning and creative aspects to it. And during one of those storytelling sessions, I mentioned my memories of the paper fortune teller. Pari loves to hear me narrate my childhood experiences to her. Playing in between classes at school, during recess, and then after school – predicting each other’s fate and most certainly believing in what the fortune teller said, including who liked whom or better still who loved whom!
