Birds-in-the-Tree Mobile
The sky's the limit with this mobile. Create fine-feathered friends to hang around-all year long!
1. Draw several birds on paper plates with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, Crayons, and/or Washable Markers.
2. Cut out the birds and color them on both sides.
3. Ask an adult for help! Sew a loop of thread near the top of each bird. Vary the lengths of thread so birds hang at different levels from the tree branch.
4. Use several strands of thread to hang the branch from a window or the ceiling. Hang the mobile where you can enjoy it.

Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
