kids things from the 80`s

[teash]

can anyone remember how to make (or a site that does) those things that you made as a kid. You used to put two fingers in each side and it had numbers on the top, you picked a number and counted it out then lifted a flap up and it had something written on the inside of the paper. Long winded explaination but HOPEFULLY somebody will know what i`m on about.

Cheers for that, it`s surprising what amuses a 34? year old

That's reminded me of another paper thingy we made at school that used to make a big banging sound.....not sure what they were called, but i seem to remember it was triangular in shape and you had to tuck a flap back in after you'd used it (tuck your flap into your flapper ?) Anybody got any idea what I'm talking about ?

brilliant....been wasting paper trying to make one for 25 years !

Yes I remember. I used to make them all the time. You had to pick a number, then there was another layer and underneath there were alternate compliments or insults after that!

closer, I think you may have the answer to the "tuck your blank into your blanks" question.
