Bird Trio from Petit Collage
These modern, dye-cut wooden birds are not only pleasing to the eye, but also pleasing to the earth—having been crafted from sustainably harvested bamboo. The nesting family of birds does require a tiny bit of assembly (tying the clear thread to the birds), but seems assuredly screw-up proof and offers the advantage of determining the total size of the mobile (approx. 20 inches) to fit your space.
Find it online at www.petitcollage.com or locally at Black Wagon, blackwagon.com or Posh Boutique, poshbaby.com. $68-$76.
