Earth, Sky and Sea Playscarves Set of 6

Inspired by the colours of the natural world, this set of six soft, lightweight cotton play scarves invites children to explore, create and tell stories through open-ended play.

Each scarf can become something different in children’s hands. Create a winding river through a small-world landscape, layer earthy colours beneath woodland animals or drape fabric over blocks to build a shelter. Children can wrap dolls, conceal treasures or explore the movement of fabric as they wave and twirl it to music.

With no fixed outcome, children are encouraged to make their own choices, test ideas and adapt materials to suit their play. Folding, arranging and layering the scarves supports fine motor development and spatial awareness, while shared play encourages collaboration, storytelling and language development. Their gentle texture and natural colours also provide opportunities for sensory exploration and conversations about colour, movement and the environment. Set of 6. Made from cotton. Each scarf measures 50cm x 50cm.  Ages 3yrs+.

Care Instructions: Gently hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach, wring or tumble dry. Dry flat in the shade and use a cool iron if needed.
