We've yet to meet a mobile we didn't like and showcase them quite often here at Ohdeedoh. For such a small item, they pack a serious punch when it comes to color, design, and best of all — they're temporary which is perfect for renters or those who like to change things up! Here are fifty of our favorites…
We've been a little mobile crazy over the years, but it's not our fault. Really... just look at how many different ways there are to make a mobile. There's everything from model airplanes to vintage book illustrations! There's sure to be one for every child in your household, boys girls and even some for those who claim to be too old for such things!

You need to include the Djeco traffic or automobile mobile. It is awesome!
It would be awesome if these were put in a slideshow so we didn't have to go through and click on each one ;)
I agree about the slideshow. Great ideas. This time last year I was sitting and DIYing my own little mobile. You can see it here.. http://henatayeb.blogspot.com/2010/09/ds-nursery.html
Nice! I made my friend a mobile as a baby shower/leaving present when she moved to Sweden to start her family, she loved it :)

Srsly, I'm not gonna go through 50 links.. make a collage or a slide show, otherwise this post is pointless.
I wish there were categories of available for purchase and DIY. Perhaps less birds too.
Saw 50 links and disappeared.
And remember: mobiles add great chi energy which is auspicious feng shui!
everyone likes to put a bird on it.
a slideshow would be best for posts like this. though some of these mobiles are not really aimed for the kidlet underneath, but more for the adult looking at eye level. do mobile designers not lie down underneath their creations to see the child's point of view?
No tillandsia mobile?
The other day, I was watching the season finale of "Parenthood" and in Jabar's room they didn't really make a mobile but had planet-like ornaments hanging from the ceiling and I thought that was super-cool, anyone have any ideas where to find something like that?
i agree with everyone about the slideshow. moms and dads don't have time for 50 links.
6 photos... 50 links... sigh!
stupid post- it would take all day and night to go through all these links
