Origami Pink Elephant (Paper)
 Some believe that paper folding was discovered first in China with the invention of paper in AD 105 and brought to Japan when the art of paper making was first introduced. Still others argue that origami is a Japanese invention and that there are no known Chinese records of early paper folding. Regardless of the difference of opinions, it is quite evident that the art of paper folding was most fully developed in Japan.
There are 18 steps in creating the pink elephant shown above. We've supplied the diagrams and instructions, you only need to provide a pack of pink paper and a peck of pachyderm patience.
Pink Elephants (Sheet Music)
 Composed by Mort Dixon and Harry Woods, Guy Lombardo made this song the bees knees way back in 1932. A sampling of some verse follows...
Yesterday a trav'ling salesman came into my house.
He was just as shaky and as nervous as a mouse.
He said: "I was at a party, we broke up at four;
When I woke up this morning, this is what I saw:
PINK ELEPHANTS on the table
PINK ELEPHANTS on the chair.
PINK ELEPHANTS on the ceiling,
PINK ELEPHANTS ev'rywhere.
I hid my head right in the bed and said a pray'r.
When I woke up again what do you think was there?
PINK ELEPHANTS on the ceiling,
PINK ELEPHANTS on the wall.
A lavender aligator was running around the hall.
Now I'm through making whoopee,
I raised my hand and swore
That I never intend to ever see
Those PINK ELEPHANTS any more.
PINK ELEPHANTS on the window
PINK ELEPHANTS on the sill
An elephant on the sideboard
Was kissing a whippoorwill.
I saw a monkey dancing with a purple cow
The cuckoo came out of the clock and said "me-ow".
PINK ELEPHANTS on my trousers
PINK ELEPHANTS on my coat.
A polka dot boa constrictor
Was shaving a billy goat.
A beetle laid beside me
And started in to snore
Oh, I never intend to ever see
Those PINK ELEPHANTS any more.
