What were these future telling paper folding toys called? I have so many memories of them, but I don’t remember if they have a name.

Contemplating tariffs in regards to my art. Searching where paints are manufactured. Thank goodness for Amsterdam & Winsor & Newton. Sourcing art supplies that are Canadian made.

When I get back from my travels, there is so much research I need to do.
