Does anyone recognise these things and what were they called?

[edam]

what were these ruddy things called? My sister made one for my ds and her dd but we are both stumped about the name - if there ever was one...

[YoniConnect]

No idea if it had a name, but I can still remember how to make one!

[ramonaquimby]

Chatter boxes!

[KatoPotato]

A fortune teller!

[WandaDoff]

I knew it was going to be a picture of one of those, but I don't think I've ever known a name for them.
I too, can still make them.

[LittleBoxes]

DD calls hers a 'chatterbox'. They're 'cootie catchers' in the US.

[Monty27]

I knew what I was going to see before I opened the link, but I'm afraid I can't quite remember what we called them, although I think Kato might be right with Fortune Teller.

cootie catchers

Thanks everyone, we called them fortune tellers, am off to let my sister know and make her very happy!

[Sarahplane]

my dd calls them fortune tellers.

[thenightsky]

We used to make them in the 60s and 70s (yes, I am that old). We called them Fortune Tellers.

[SomeDizzyWhore1804]

We called them snap dragons at my school.

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

My Brownies call them chatterboxes.

[AuntPittypat]

Snap dragons here too.

[TigerSwallowTail]

We made them in late 90s/00s too but never had a name for them, I still remember how to make them.
