Check with an adult before you begin making any of these mobiles, as you may need their help. If you're going to make the outdoor mobile, you'll probably need an adult's help to hang it up.

Working with items such as scissors can be dangerous, so be very careful when you use them, and make sure that you never leave them open or lying around where smaller children can reach them. Before starting to make your mobile, cover the work surface with some newspaper or an old cloth, and make sure you're wearing an apron or some old clothes. Gather together all the items you'll need before you begin. Most things will be found by simply hunting around the house or garden, but remember to check with an adult before you take anything.
