Abstract
An article of manufacture adapted to be suspended as a mobile or placed on a flat surface to serve as a bedside display and including a plurality of paddles, each adapted for receipt of a hand puppet. The device may be suspended as a mobile from a hook or removed from the hook and supported on a flat surface such as a night stand or shelf. The paddles are two-position paddles having a first angled position when supported on the mobile and a second upright position when supported on the flat surface. The apparatus includes a wind-up device which, when activated, causes the mobile to rotate. When the device is wound, a musical melody plays as the device rotates. The hand puppets are removably positioned on each of the paddles.
