Crochet Sun, Moon and Star Baby Gym Toys

Crochet Sun, Moon and Star Baby Gym Toys inspired by Montessori pedagogy

Create your own dreamy baby mobile featuring three high-contrast shapes: a stripy moon, a sun, and a polka-dot star.

Designed with newborns in mind, these toys stimulate early visual development and are perfect for a Montessori-inspired nursery.

Although the skill level is set to Intermediate, this pattern is ideal for confident beginners and experienced crocheters alike. The finished toys can be hung from a baby gym, crib mobile, or stroller. Each piece includes a simple design, clear instructions, and step-by-step photos to guide you through.

Pattern includes:

1. Crochet instructions for the sun, moon, and star
2. Tips for assembling and hanging the toys
3. Suggested materials (yarn type, stuffing, and beads)

Optional sensory features: stuff the sun with crinkle material for extra sensory play, and turn the moon into a soft rattle so it can be enjoyed long after baby outgrows the mobile.
