Making mobiles using drinking straws.
Equipment: coloured card, paper clips, scissors, sellotape, string.
Hang a chain of paper clips
Use sellotape to fix the clips and card shapes.
This is a very easy way to make a mobile. With this mobile the leaves have been sellotaped to the clips, and the red flowers added to balance the weight, and keep the drinking straw level.

SHIVA Charity (UK) puts these free educational pages on its web site in order to be used primarily in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Darjeeling, India, where lessons are mostly repetitive "chalk and talk" and curriculum restrained. We are involved in teachers' resources training there, and hope that schools in the UK and elsewhere will support SHIVA Charity's cause with funding. Please visit our main pages to see the work we do, and how we raise money for individual projects and for child sponsorship.
