Fantastic Danish Paper Mobiles
Posted by Meta-Dad under cool schtuff , dad recomendation , the house and home

Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe. Their first design, the Stork mobile, was a great success, and now flies all over the world.
Depth and color perception are developing in leaps and bounds during Baby’s tender first few months and mobiles add a wonderful point of interest for them as they are lying in the crib. Since their color perception is rudimentary at first, high-contrast mobiles are said to be best.
Flensted Mobiles are created so that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Each mobile is carefully assembled, and balanced by skillful hands. They are packed so that they are ready to hang.
