Go on, pick a colour…
Now, pick a number…
Here’s your fortune…
No. 1: You will be attacked by a robot with a human brain
No. 2: You will get grunged by the ‘poo’ machine
No. 3: You will be forced to wear a smelly sock balaclava
No. 4: Your bedroom will be moved into the basement
No. 5: You will be eaten by a shark… slowly
No. 6: You will be abducted by an alien (while you’re sleeping)
No. 7: You will get a fright from the toilet monster
No. 8: You will have to eat ‘snot’ toast for breakfast
So here’s my version of the classic paper fortune teller, especially designed to make my boys smile. It might look familiar, it’s a revamped version of an earlier post – I’ve now coloured in the illustrations and fixed a few other things up. You can download the project files below, I’ve made the colour and black and white versions available (so you can colour them in yourself). Have fun!
Includes:
1) Colour artwork – just start folding
2) Black and white artwork – have fun colouring them in first
3) Collectable instructions – they look great stuck on the fridge
1499 downloads so far, thanks everyone!
If you like this Fortune Teller, you’ll love the one in my new book.
It’s full of detailed (but fun) instructions, and “pro-dad” tips – to get a taste, watch the video below:
Happy folding!

OMG that walpaper is sick!!! I love it and the rest of your website… oh and i sooooo remember those fortune tellers from school!

These are awesome! I’m going to use them in my junior high school (12/13 year olds) in Japan tomorrow with simplified English, e.g. “Shark eats you”.
Thanks for posting these!!
I knew my 30 year old son would love this. But when I printed it out, it came out too big and I lost a lot of the outer graphics. Can you help?
But, the rest of your site blows me away too. I am a doodler….this is fantastic. Glad I found you on Pinterest….now to follow you!
I remember these from school – nice work!
I love this! Thank you so much. And I love the font you use, too!
Thank you Rose – the font was created using the @font-face generator on Font Squirrel’s website, it’s scanned from my handwriting. Scott
YOU BORN FOR THIS MARVELOUS IDEAS!!!KEEP WALKING… Aspa Kourou,from Greece(kindergarten teacher)
Thanks Aspa – keep up the good work! Scott:-)
woooooh! your site is amazing!!
i looooooove it!
Thank you so much! Scott
You are magnificent
My son is begging me to print this out for him. Now IF he brings it to school, and gets in trouble for the poo thingy, it’s on him. So silly, but so awesomely creative. Wow. We just can’t get enough of your site.
You are awesome! I also laughed myself silly over the illustration of the baby with a straw up the nose (or perhaps it is snot dripping out onto the sandwich). Have you heard of a book called “Kid Concoctions”? You would fit in with that genre of book fabulously.
Hi Becky, No I haven’t heard of it – I’ll Google it now. I’m glad you liked my illustrations and yes, it’s drippy snot, not a straw! Scott
Sorry if this comment turns up twice…I love your blog! The illustrated instructions for your projects are completely fun to read. Thanks for the link!
Thanks Staci! The illustrations take quite a while to draw so it’s good to hear that people like them. By the way I was impressed your fabric fortune teller – I wouldn’t have thought it was even possible to make one out of fabric. Scott
I seriously love your blog! The illustrated instructions are absolutely frame-worthy. Thanks for the link!
Love you “cootie catcher” as they were called in CA in the 80s.
Just Googled “cootie catcher” – I’ve never come across that name before, but there it was in Wikipedia! Thanks for the comment
