Make a few of the units in the last step, and put them together using paper clip chains. To make the mobile balance, you can slide the paper clips over. |

Cut out some colorful shapes, animals or letters from construction paper.
Clip the paper shapes to your mobile. Then hang the entire mobile from the ceiling! |
