Using the blank cootie catcher template and adapting it to teach children about Pesach.

Prepare your paper. To make a cootie catcher, you
must use a piece of paper that is in the shape of a square. If you have a
rectangular piece of paper, you can fold it into a square and cut off
the excess. To do this, fold one corner of the paper diagonally across
until the edges line up. There should be a long rectangular piece of
unfolded paper left on the bottom, which should be removed by cutting or
tearing.
Fold your paper lengthwise. With your paper now in
the shape of a square, fold it in half so that the edges line up and
you’re left with a rectangular shape. Crease the edge so that the fold
is defined and secure. Then, unfold the paper back into the shape of a
square.
Fold your paper widthwise. When your paper has been
unfolded back into its original square shape, fold it in half again but
this time in the opposite direction of the previous fold. Crease the
fold to keep it in place, and then unfold the square again. The square
should have a large ‘X’ going through the center of it now.
