“Uga’s forest” mobile

A little forest that turns by the window.

Hanging things at different heights takes trial and error. Balancing it is the real craft, and it teaches more than the cutting does.

Step by step

  1. Find a good stick

    Straight, light, longer than your forearm.

  2. Cut the shapes

    Trees, leaves, a small Lulu, a cloud.

  3. Hang them at different heights

    Some near the stick, some far below.

  4. Balance it

    Slide the threads along until the stick hangs level.

Uga’s tip

Hang it by a window, out of reach — never over a bed or cot. When it turns on its own, a window is open somewhere.
