Cookie Cutter Mobile

What to do:

Mobiles help infants develop visual skills. Make a mobile out of different shapes and colors of clay dough. Change it often as dough can dry out and become brittle.
Hang the mobile no closer than 12 inches from infant’s eyes to the right or left (not in the middle).

Make clay objects using cookie cutters.
Make a hole in the middle to attach a string so the infants can look up at the shapes. Allow to dry completely.
Punch six evenly spaced holes around the edge of a coffee lid or pie tin.
Cut six 12-inch pieces of string or yarn and thread through the holes.
Make knots on top side of lid or tin (leaving 4 inches above knot for tying hanging loop).
Attach clay objects to string, making sure they are balanced. Double-knot objects in place when balanced.
Attach to ceiling with strong hook or plant holder.
