Hey Diddle Diddle Mobile

I really like this craft and the cartoons look great, but the disadvantage is that there are 8 characters, all with 2 mirror images. That's A LOT of coloring and cutting for little kids.

Actually, I made an easier version similar to the one shown. I used chopsticks tied at the center to make a cross at the top.

Materials:

  • 4 or 5 characters from coloring pages
  • 2 disposable chopsticks tied in the middle
  • yarn
  • crayons
  • scissors
  • tape

Directions:

  1. Tie chopsticks at the top to make a cross.
  2. Color and cut out pictures.
  3. Tape to pieces of yarn.
  4. Tape the yarn to the ends of the chopsticks and hang up.
