Dangling Hearts Mobile

Design a fanciful mobile full of love. This extraordinary craft is perfect to give to someone special!

1. To make heart stencils, fold plain paper in half. Along the folded edge, use Crayola Scissors to cut out hearts in different sizes.

2. Lay one heart on your Crayola Color Explosion™ paper. Trace around it with the marker. Repeat with other hearts to create your basic Heart Mobile designs. You can even trace smaller hearts inside larger ones. Fill in the hearts with fun dots, lines, flowers, vines, or whatever you’d like. The colors will surprise you!

3. Cut out your hearts. Lay them on a flat surface. Start with the largest heart and then arrange the smaller ones to hang from that one on your mobile. Try different arrangements to find one that looks balanced.

4. Use Crayola School Glue to attach small pieces of ribbon to the heart backs for hanging. Attach a larger piece of ribbon to the top heart so you can hang your mobile. Air-dry the pieces flat before hanging.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Color Explosion™ Black—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

The type of art known as a mobile was first created by Alexander Calder in the 1930s. A mobile has separate pieces and moves either by a motor or the natural force of wind.
