Fortune teller templates: colours and numbers, animal faces, blank

A paper fortune teller, also called a cootie catcher, is folded from a square and played by picking colours and numbers. These nine pictures give three games: a sheet with four coloured corners and numbers 1 to 8, a sheet with an animal face on each corner, and a blank sheet for a child's own game. Each comes as felt-tip, flat colour and soft pastel. Type a theme, such as rainbow or space, and the folding layout stays the same.

What do the nine pictures show?

Printable fortune tellers in three games, colours and numbers, animal faces and a blank sheet, each in felt-tip, flat colour and soft pastel.

How is the fortune teller folded?

Cut out the square and fold along the dashed lines. The colours sheet has eight blank flaps for the player to write fortunes under.

Which sheet is for a child's own game?

Can I ask for another theme?

Yes, type a theme such as a unicorn. That is a request, and the sheet may differ from the sample.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
