The African Animal Baby Mobile is made up of 5 African animals commonly found in our national parks and game reserves around the country, they are not quite the Big 5 but they are my favourite five. This pattern is for the giraffe only and includes instructions for making a mobile. If you would like the patterns for the other animals, lion, elephant, hippo and zebra, they are available individually and also as an e-book.
