Thai Style Baby Crib Mobile

Baby Nursery Decoration made even simpler through Thai style Baby Crib Mobile; The Carp Mobile.

Ever thought of making your own baby crib mobile?

Baby Nursery Decoration before Computers & Internet

Ever wondered what children used to do before the advent of
Xbox, Playstation or even television. How did you used to keep yourself busy as
a child before electronics and computers got in the way of sweet innocent play.

Have things changed so much these days that its too inconceivable
to imagine kids going out to play outside or heaven forbid do some exercise.

Lets not even talk about the internet.

Traditional Baby Crib Mobile Thai Style

A long traditional amongst Thai families in days gone by was
to walk outside into the garden and collect some palm leaves with which to make
a carp mobile, or “plat ta pien”.

This certainly isn’t a walk in the park for the origami
challenged but it does get easier when you master a few basic tricks. Once you
get the hang of it you can be popping them out every 5-10 minutes without much
effort. You’ll find that plaiting leaves together to makes these fish isn’t at
all as difficult as the task first seemed.

The task can be likened to knitting whilst watching the
television. Its almost mesmerizing by the intricate
simplicity.

Effects of using a Baby Crib Mobile

Not only is this a therapeutic exercise for young parents
the benefits really play part for the child. The swaying of these carp mobiles
works wonders as the back and forth movement in the wind slowly encourages
sleep. And which parent wouldn’t give their right arm for that?

These carp mobiles aren’t just for infants or playful
parents, older children use their imagination far more when it comes to the
carp creations. Traditionally they tie them to stick and pretend to walk them
home. A way of showing off their ‘catch of the day’.

Who says that entertainment these days needs to be
expensive. With some basic skills, dexterity and a good sense of ‘child at
heart’ you too can enjoy the luxury of creating simplistic creations in your
nursery without the need for expensive designer touches.

Baby Nursery Decoration doesn’t have to be expensive or
complicated. With some simple ideas like a Baby Crib Mobile your nursery can
come to life with a single palm leaf.
