Description
Build a hanging mobile with measured shapes, teaching proportions and color balance while fostering creativity through dynamic, balanced designs.
Details
1. Cut out 6–8 shapes (e.g., circles, stars) from colored cardstock, varying sizes.
2. Measure and cut two straws to equal lengths (e.g., 20 cm).
3. Tie strings to shapes and attach to straws, balancing them evenly.
4. Hang the straws from a central string, adjusting for balance.
5. Use contrasting colors for visual harmony.
6. Discuss how weight and color affect the mobile’s balance.
