When I was in grade school we learned to make these May baskets but we also used them as bug catchers and as fortune tellers.

You can add a pipe cleaner for a handle or you can write fortunes for the fortune teller.

First we will make the Bug Catcher

For a fortune teller write a color on each of the eight sections on the top of the flaps. Inside write a number on each section. Then pull up the inside flaps and write a fortune on each section. So you ask them to choose a color and open that color and then choose a number and open that flap to read their fortune!

Take a sheet of copy paper and fold one corner and match it to the other side. Press the folded edge down sharply making sure the corner is as accurate as y ou can.
