The Munari Mobile

The Montessori Munari Mobile is the first in a series of mobiles. Because a newborn cannot see color, the Munari Mobile is built of black and white geometrical designs with a plastic sphere to provide the largest contrast in hues, which aids the child's capacity to visually explore the world.

The mobile should be hung above the infant’s floor bed from a mobile hanger or ceiling hook, about 30cm distance from the child’s eyes. It is a visual mobile and not meant to be grasped. The baby should be alert and awake while ‘working’ with the mobile. It is designed to develop concentration and tracking skills. The mobile is made using Non-Toxic paint. All pieces are solid wood. For safety purposes, we have used a lightweight plastic sphere instead of the traditional glass sphere.

This mobile is only for visual purposes and is advised to keep this product out of the reach of children under 5. The different components are not assembled, because the wires become entangled in transport, but everything needed to assemble the mobile is included.
