DIY Montessori Munari Mobile

DIY Montessori Munari Mobile

Did you know that the least developed sense of a newborn is sight? Very small babies can only see objects that are close to them (about 30cm distance max) and  can only perceive high-contrasting colours.  Maria Montessori noticed these important elements, and as a result, she designed a mobile with the tiniest of babies in mind. The Munari is made up of colour-contrasting, two-dimensional geometrical elements, therefore this mobile is extremely attractive for infants. It offers your baby just the right stimulus for their developing vision. This DIY Montessori Munari mobile is the first one you can offer to your baby, at around 2 weeks of age, therefore it makes a perfect pregnancy gift or a baby shower present.

The TIME of assembly of the DIY Montessori mobiles greatly depends on how carefully and faithfully the instructions are followed, but I would suggest leaving a morning or an afternoon free to make one. I believe that the process of making the mobile is part of the journey.

!!Please note, this baby mobile is NOT a toy, keep it out of reach of babies. It should hang above their chest, in a distance of about 30cm.
