Last year I did a cootie catcher for Fathers Day<\/a>. This year, we’re doing one for the moms out there. The idea is simple: let your kiddo color the printable, fold it up, and then have fun with mom. Under each flap is an activity to do, so let mom pick a number, and then do the activity. It’s an easy way to build memories and add some fun to Mothers Day<\/a>. <\/p>\n This works well for large groups – you can even downsize the printable to save paper. It takes very little effort from you, which means it’s perfect!<\/p>\n Just click on the picture below to go to the printable pdf template. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n So until last year, I hadn’t made one of these since 6th grade and I definitely needed a folding tutorial. If you’re like me, this part’s for you. If you’re a little more in touch with your inner child, you can skip this section.<\/p>\n Start with your colored and cut out printable facing upward on the table. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fold the catcher in half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfold the catcher, then fold it in half the other way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfold the catcher again. You should have two folds that split the paper into four sections. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now flip the catcher over and fold the corners into the center.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you’ve finished it’ll look like this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now flip the catcher back over, and do the same thing on the other side – folding the corners in to the center. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you’re done, it’ll look like this: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now fold the catcher in half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then unfold the catcher and fold it half the other way. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And last but not least, slip your fingers under the pockets and your catcher is ready to go!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Mothers Day Gift Kids Can Make<\/a><\/p>\nFolding the Cootie Catcher, Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n
