Baby Care Fortune Teller – Worksheet (pdf)

Baby Care Fortune Teller for your antenatal or postnatal education sessions. OR ask your clients to create their own Baby Care Fortune Teller (blank sheet included) or other childbirth support or parenting support fortune teller.

Fortune tellers are a great, creative and fun way to rehearse, or learn about all aspects of pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting.

Fortune tellers, also known as cootie catchers, are simple origami toys that can be easily folded and used to play fortune-telling games. They can be made with colourful papers and decorated with drawings or stickers to make them more engaging and appealing.

To create a pregnancy or postnatal fortune teller, you can include questions and answers related to common concerns, such as breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, emotional changes, or physical recovery. You can also add tips and advice from healthcare professionals or experienced parents to provide reliable information and support.

For a labour rehearsal or birth partner support fortune teller, you can focus on practical scenarios and coping strategies, such as breathing techniques, massage, visualization, or communication skills. You can also include affirmations and positive messages to boost confidence and reduce anxiety.

If you want to make a practical baby care fortune teller, you can cover topics like feeding, nappy changing, bathing, or soothing techniques. You can also add funny or unexpected challenges, such as changing a nappy blindfolded or carrying a baby doll while doing household chores.

Overall, fortune tellers can be a versatile and interactive tool to enhance antenatal or postnatal education sessions and engage clients in a playful and memorable way.
