Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Wood – Natural Pine Flying Bird

Pull the leather strap and this award-winning 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, Wood is a hanging bird in natural, unpainted pine, spreading about 60 × 75 cm (23.6 × 29.5 in) and hanging about 95 cm (37.4 in) tall. A leather strap hangs from its body; pull it and the wings rise and fall. It is designed for use above a crib or as nursery decor. The Mobile Birds series won a Golden Pin Design Award and a Cultural and Creative Excellence Award in 2017 (per Eguchi Toys).

Best for

A nursery ceiling, a reading corner, a stairwell or a living room with a bit of height (the hanging height is about 95 cm / 37.4 in). Eguchi Toys designs its flying birds to please adults as much as children. Note: it also comes in Blue.

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 29.5 in of spread, and hanging hardware isn't included.
• Anyone who wants it within a baby's reach unattended: hang it out of reach and pull the strap together.

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

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.

Safety

US CPSIA tested. Our advice: fix it securely to the ceiling, hang it well out of a baby's reach, let little hands pull the strap only with an adult there, and keep the strap and cords away from the crib.

Frequently asked questions

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

Eguchi recommends a ceiling hook fixed securely into the ceiling (any sturdy hardware-store hook works; hardware isn't included). If you have a sturdy horizontal bar or a light-steel ceiling frame, an S-hook works, and on a magnetic surface a strong magnet can hold it.

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

60 × 75 × 95 cm (23.6 × 29.5 × 37.4 in) (W × L × H) and 0.8 kg (1.8 lb), per Eguchi Toys. It ships in a box of about 46 × 13 × 8 cm (18.1 × 5.1 × 3.1 in).

How does the Eguchi Toys Bird Mobile Medium, Wood 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, Wood hang over a crib?

It is designed 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 unattended.

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.

Has this Eguchi mobile won any design awards?

Yes. Eguchi Mobile Birds series won a Golden Pin Design Award and a Cultural and Creative Excellence Award in 2017.
