Abstract
Abstract A nursery mobile having soft, laminated characters. The mobile characters have two soft outer plies of, preferably, a synthetic felt, an inner ply of a non-woven batting which has been treated with a thermoplastic resinous binder to render it heat sealable, and are heat sealed about the periphery. The mobile characters are made by assembling sheets of the plies, heat sealing with a dielectric die, and cutting the mobile character from the sheet-sized assembly.
