Winter Fruit Mobile

Watch this video as Evie shows how you can make your own winter fruit mobile.

You will need
  • Two oranges
  • String or ribbon
  • A twig
  • A pencil
  • Modelling Clay

Step 1:

Get a grown-up to cut each orange into five or six slices. (It must be a grown-up doing this, as kitchen knives are sharp).

Step 2:

Place the orange slices on a wire rack and get a grown-up to put them in the oven for 120 degrees (1/2 gas mark) for 45 minutes.

Step 3:

Ask a grown-up to turn the slices over and bake for another 45 minutes. Keep checking on them so they don't burn.

Step 4:

When the slices are baked and completely cooled, we can get creative! Place an orange slice on top of a ball of modelling clay and use a pencil to poke a hole into the middle of the slice. Repeat until all your slices have a hole. You may also find that some already have a hole from baking.

Step 5:

Thread some string through the hole and tie the end to make a loop. You can now add the other orange slices to the string. Tie a loop in the string at each slice so they stay in place.

Step 6:

Tie the end of the string to the middle of the twig.

Step 7:

Tie another piece of string to each end of the twig so you can hang it up. Now you have your very own winter mobile.
