I really started to apply Montessori when my first born was around 6 months old. With my son, I started from birth.
I attempted to make my own Montessori mobiles. I managed the first one: the Munari mobile, see picture below. And the octohedron, not pictured becaue well, we were living our lives!
I found the Gobbi mobile time consuming and to be perfectly honest, I have never finished it!
Since browsing Instagram, I found many super easy way to make it. I wanted to share with you as it would have been so much easier to make those versions!
But what is the Gobbi Mobile?
“Between two and four months, the baby is getting better and better as distinguishing between the different colours and their shades. With this mobile, made of five balls in different shades of the same colour, they can observe and understand the subtle variations of the shades of one colour, and the depth of field when the balls are placed higher and higher. The balls will capture his attention as they sway gently, soothing him and allowing him to happily concentrate for longer periods” (from Nature et Decouverte website, where you can buy a box with diy material for the first 4 mobiles, the cheapest one I have found so far!)
Here are a few Gobbi Mobiles, diy, that caught my attention on Instagram:
Thread the embroidery thread around the balls! So much easier!
A super easy DIY with cotton balls instead of beads/styrofoam balls at Montessibaby
A felt version by Mum and Montessori
A crochet version by Nenetzin.
Just paint the wooden balls from Littledopt
Make some pompoms like this one
