Paper mobile templates: moon and stars, planets, under the sea

A paper mobile hangs shapes from a hoop or two crossed sticks, so they turn above a crib, a desk or a classroom. These nine pictures give three themes: a crescent moon with stars, the sun with eight planets, and a whale, a fish, an octopus, a jellyfish and a seahorse. Each shape has a hole for its thread. Each comes in soft nursery shapes, bold primary shapes or black line art. Type a theme, such as dinosaurs or rainbow.

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?

Mobile sheets in three themes, moon and stars, planets and under the sea, each in three styles.

How many shapes are on each sheet?

The moon sheet has a crescent moon, five stars and two clouds. The planet sheet has the sun and eight planets, and the sea sheet has five sea creatures.

How do I hang the shapes?

Thread each shape through its punch hole and tie it to a hoop or two crossed sticks, at different lengths so they do not hang level.

Which style suits a nursery?

The soft nursery style has rounded flat shapes with no outlines. The bold primary style has thick outlines for a classroom.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
