Kids' Garden Mobile

Daphne and I are really into crafts this month. Here is the latest and greatest: an outdoor mobile for the garden area.

This was so fun to make with all of the random buttons and beads that I've collected over the years.
1. Cut shapes out of cardboard and glue on tissue paper (kids can help rip and glue paper)
2. Punch holes into cardboard shapes.
3. Use fishing line or beading line to string shapes, buttons, beads and jewels (Daphne liked selecting the beads/buttons to use).
4: Find a stick to tie them to, and then a perfect spot to hang... wherever the wind blows, really.

The perfectionist in me wanted to do more shapes and beads to fill it out, but I was working with a 2yr. old, and her attention span is not that long...and it IS for the child...I guess. ;)
