Kids really enjoy making and playing with these, and it’s also a great origami project.

How to Make a Cootie Trap

Cut out template. Fold in half twice, making sure folds are crisp, and unfold.

The paper should be facing you with the white side down. Fold all 4 corners in toward the center. Make sure the folds are crisp.

Turn over and fold all corners to the center. Notice the sharp creases ;).

Now fold it in half again to make a rectangle. The fold is sharp. You can fold it in half again, just to make a sharper fold and open it up into a rectangle.

There are openings on one side, push your fingers into the openings and gently push and wiggle around until you get a louse catch.
