SNOOPY MOBILE 

This is a simple mobile made up of printed Snoopy's.  If you don't feel like making a mobile, you can print one of the template pieces, poke a hole in the top and thread a string through to make a necklace or nametag.   You can cover with clear contact paper (optional) to make it waterproof and a bit more sturdy.

We usually create our mobiles by using two straws or sticks taped or tied in a criss-cross or by using one paper towel or gift wrap roll with all the pieces tied to it (this isn't as 3D a mobile, but is good for recycling).   See the summer mobile to see what the paper towel roll mobile looks like.

Materials:

  • a printer, 
  • a piece of paper... I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.
  • some crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons, 
  • scissors, 
  • glue,
  • straws, sticks or paper towel roll, and
  • string and yarn.

Instructions

  • Print out the template of choice.  You can print out as many as you want to fill up your mobile.
     
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces along the dotted lines. 
     
  • Fold the template pieces in half and glue the back and front together.  Let dry. 
     
  • Poke a small hole in the top of each piece and tie with yarn or string to the mobile you've chosen (straws, sticks or paper towel roll).
     
  • If you use criss-crossed straws or sticks, you can put a round piece of cardboard (old cereal boxes) or a small paper plate on the top to make it easier to balance the pieces.
       

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
