Constructing the Basic Mobile Book Report

Cut interesting shapes from cardstock to attach your paragraphs and illustrations to.  Use a hole punch to make holes in the top of the shape to allow hanging it from your mobile.  Use wire to create a frame to hang your mobile from or use a coat hanger.  Hang all the shapes from your mobile, then hang the mobile in the classroom to share.

Suggestion:  Keep your mobile pieces small enough to fit in your smash book when you are finished!
