Entertaining Baby

The mobile is so ubiquitous it's hard to imagine someone inventing it, and yet Alexander Calder is credited with coming up with the idea of having a moving sculpture hanging from a ceiling---and a generation of happy babies was born. The mobile transitioned quickly from being a creative moment of modernism to being a must-have over Baby's crib.

We like the simple cheeriness of these butterflies from Warm Biscuit

But if you want to try out your own artistic impulses, here's a kit ---you provide cards, or photos, or pictures you draw on cardstock, and clip them into  the mobile.http://www.weegallery.com/mobile.html

That is just simply cute! I love it when people have their own creation around the house.

It is an interesting peace of art. That sure will look fantastic and extra ordinary out of the usual. Like learning how to choose quality and inexpensive travel baby cribs and making it best.

That mobile is really nice. You've inspired me to try and make one for my son. Not sure if I'll do as good a job but I'll have a go anyway. Thanks :)
