ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bandanna for folding and a method of folding a bandanna. In particular, the invention relates to a bandanna for folding and a method of folding a bandanna for presentation of a graphics display area.
The area of games and devices available to hold the interest of children and adults is nearly limitless. In particular, those games and devices that challenge the imagination and stimulate learning skills are of even more significance. The development of dexterity, mathematical, and visualization skills serve very useful purposes. It is certainly an advantage to combine such learning, skills with a fun recreational activity. Thus, a need exists for a fun activity that combines useful learning skills for the entertainment and education of children and adults.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention comprises providing a bandanna for folding to present a graphics display area.
A further object of the present invention comprises providing a bandanna for use in an educational activity.
Still another object of the present invention comprises providing a bandanna for use in a recreational activity.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to the following specification, drawings, and claims.
The present invention intends to overcome the difficulties encountered heretofore. To that end, a bandanna is provided with a graphics display area defined on at least one side of the bandanna. The graphics display area is defined on either side by a first and second guideline that extend the length of the bandanna. The first and second guidelines are joined together at a terminal end by a third guideline. The bandanna is initially folded along a center folding line, wherein the graphics display area is substantially centered and adjacent to the center folding line. Next, the bandanna is repeatedly folded and wrapped in a manner that creates successive folding lines each substantially parallel to the center folding line. The folding and wrapping continues until one of the folding lines reaches the third guideline. A tip portion is folded about the third guideline thereby creating a pocket. Then, each side of the bandanna is repeatedly folded and stacked about the first and second guidelines, first one side and then the other. Finally, the bandanna is successively reverse folded by turning the pocket inside out until the graphics display area is displayed.
