Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue – Pull-String Wooden Flying Bird

Pull the leather strap and this handmade pine bird flaps its wings: a nursery mobile that keeps working as decor long after the baby years.

The Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue is a hanging bird in pine with painted blue wings and bright accents, about 29 in (74 cm) across. A leather strap hangs from its body; pull it and the wings rise and fall. The distributor designs it for use above a crib or as nursery decor.

Best for

A nursery ceiling, a reading corner, a stairwell or a living room with a bit of height. Eguchi Toys designs its flying birds to please adults as much as children. Note: it also comes in natural Wood.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a crib-clamp mobile that plays music or spins on its own: this one hangs from the ceiling and moves when you pull it.
• Rooms with very low ceilings or no spot to fix a hook: plan for about 29 in of wingspan, and a ceiling hook isn't listed as included.
• Anyone who needs it as a hands-on toy for a baby: hang it out of reach.

Why we carry Eguchi Toys

We've been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Eguchi Toys fills a gap we care about: children's things that are honest, well made and good-looking enough to live in the main rooms of a home. Eguchi Toys was founded in Taipei in 2015 by Kentaro Eguchi, a Japanese designer who studied fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York, holds a Montessori teaching qualification and founded Ivy's House Montessori kindergarten in Taipei in 1997. His team of designers, carpenters and preschool teachers designs and makes the toys in Taiwan, and the line has been shown at Maison&Objet in Paris (2017, 2019, 2024) and the Nuremberg International Toy Fair (2019, 2020). Every toy starts from what children are working on at each stage, then gets a shape and palette an adult is happy to see every day.

Worth the investment

At $120 it costs more than a printed felt mobile, but it's solid pine and leather, handmade, and it moves. Most nursery mobiles are packed away after a year; this one moves to a living room or a teenager's room and keeps flying.

Buy once: durability and care

Wipe with a soft cloth and clean water, then dry it right away. Skip alcohol and chemical cleaners, and keep it away from direct sun, heaters and air-conditioning vents, which can make wood expand, contract and crack. (Our advice, based on the wood-care guidance Eguchi publishes for its furniture; VICI doesn't publish care instructions for this toy.)

Safety

US CPSIA tested (per distributor). Our advice: fix it securely to the ceiling, hang it well out of a baby's reach, and keep the strap and cords away from the crib. Crib-side mobiles should be moved out of reach once a baby can push up on hands and knees.

Frequently asked questions

How do you hang the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue?

From the ceiling, by its hanging cords. A ceiling hook isn't listed as included, so plan to use a ceiling hook or eye screw fixed securely into the ceiling.

How big is the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue?

About 24 × 29 × 43 in (61 × 74 × 109 cm), length × width × height as listed by the distributor. It ships in a box of about 8 × 5 × 3.5 in (20 × 13 × 9 cm).

How does the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue move?

Pull the leather strap and the wings flap; let go and they settle. No batteries, no motor.

Can the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue hang over a crib?

The distributor designs it for use above a crib or as nursery decor. Hang it securely and well out of reach, never where a baby could grab the strap or cords.

What's the difference between the Blue and Wood Bird Mobile?

Same pine and leather bird and same size. Wood is natural, unpainted pine; Blue adds painted blue wings and bright accents. Both are $120.

What age is the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Blue for?

The distributor rates it 0+, as nursery decor. It works just as well in a grown-up room.
