A mobile is something that hangs from the ceiling or hangs over a baby's bed. It is made to be interesting, beautiful, or just fun to look at. It is made of things with different shapes that hang from wires. The parts of the mobile move in the air, and it can be fun to watch them. Some mobiles are works of art and hang in museums.
