Directions
Are you a fortune cookie fan? Here are some ways you and your child can have fun writing and sharing predictions.
- Make a fortune-telling Cootie Catcher by following directions on the Arthur Web site.
- Make fortune balloons. Write a fortune on a thin slip of paper, slide it inside a balloon and blow up the balloon. Make a fortune balloon for each member of your family or for each kid at a party. At a signal, everyone pops their balloon to get their fortune.

Talk About It
In Seattle, Buster watches children perform several forms of martial arts: tai chi, karate, and wushu. He joins the class in a relaxation exercise led by the tai chi instructor. With your child, make up your own sequence of relaxation moves: stretches, deep breathing and slow gentle gestures. You might also want to try some of the poses shown in "A Yoga Parade of Animals" (see Related Books).
