I am crazy about Japanese design because when it’s good, it’s amazing.  And this paper bird mobile is a stunning example.  For all it’s white simplicity, it radiates dizzying levels of beauty and calmness.  Of course you could add your own little touch by colouring it in but I think I like it just as it is.  Designed by Yoko Noguchi, the birds can be hung up individually or you can hang all 3 together.  I can’t think of a sweeter mobile for a newborn baby.  This paper bird mobile comes from a store called Upon a Fold and costs AUD 26.95 with international shipping from AUD 6.20.  Just so you know, once you visit Upon a Fold, you may not be able to leave.  They sell the cutest, most delicious little paper goodies that are truly irresistible.

If you like your paper mobiles as much as I do, have a look at this swan bird mobile.  It’s hard to believe you can make something so majestic from paper.  Or if you want a decorate it yourself project for your toddler, check out this cute cardboard bird mobile.  It’s even got clouds to keep the birds company!
