    Tips and tricks for building: Get parent volunteers!
    1. Small, medium and large are relative. Each group will have to decide this for themselves. 
    2. There is more colored card stock in the right tall cabinet if you run out of a color
    3. Allow time for students to cut out shapes first and then pass out materials to build mobiles
    4. Instead of gluing two shapes together, students can make one shape and poke a whole at the top for the string
    5. Cut 6 - 10'' pieces of string for each shape - more string is available
