Childs Game Cant Remember the name

Hi I hope that I have posted this in the right place. I was hoping to make a childhood game that I used to play myself for my daughter to play with only I cant remember the name of it and therefore cant search for the instructions. It is a bit like origami flower shape but under the flaps of paper you have different bits of writing or shapes that you choose until you fold it out to the final answer. You used to hold it in both hands with two fingers on each side and you could move the paper shape. I am not explaining this very well at all but I hope that someone out there knows what I am talking about and where I can find instructions. Many Thanks. 0

I remember these. Can't remember what they were called though.
I do remember that, if you folded one bit in to make a mouth and two bits out to make wings, you could also make a "dragon" that opened its mouth when you squeezed the wings!The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.
