Kick off the new year with a little magic and imagination! This free New Year’s Fortune Teller Cootie Catcher Printable is a fun hands-on activity for preschoolers that encourages conversation, creativity, and fine-motor skills. Kids will love folding, choosing numbers, and opening the flaps to reveal sweet, silly, and encouraging “fortunes” for the year ahead. It’s the perfect New Year’s activity for preschool, kindergarten, or at-home learning!
New Year’s Cootie Catcher for Kids
To get started, simply print the cootie catcher in either color or black and white — both look great! Kids can cut along the dotted lines, fold the paper into a classic fortune teller, and then take turns choosing numbers and flaps to reveal each magical New Year’s message. It’s an easy, low-prep activity that little hands can help with from start to finish.
Happy New Year!
Color, cut, and fold your cootie catcher. Underneath each number is a New Year’s fortune! “You will create a brand new dance move… and it may involve wiggly elbows and dramatic spins.” “You will discover a new way to draw…and you might even surprise yourself with what appears on the page.” Don’t forget to print your Free New Year’s Coloring Pages for even more creative fun!
