What Kind Of Mobile To Make

The kind of mobile to make depends on what purpose you want it to serve. Will it be a decorative item or more for visual stimulation for the baby? It can be both. Some mobiles have contrasting colors and shapes. While others have patterns that bring attention to them. Some are circular with items that hang from them. Others are made with wooden dowels and have several tiers with objects hanging off of them. The materials used to make them vary with the design and functional aspects of the mobile. Whatever you decide it should be pleasing to look at.

To make one that will capture your baby's eye, use different colors and shapes that draw interest when creating your mobile. The colors should also compliment the nursery. This is the time to be creative so do not be afraid to experiment. The materials you choose for your mobile should be light-weight and never heavy. Test the items first by tying a string around them and hold them up by the string. If it feels too heavy then do not use. Also take into consideration the amount of weight that multiple items will have in the finished mobile.

As with ANY mobile or object that has strings or small parts, please keep away from baby's reach.
