This Carmine scarf from Ostheimer is a beautiful open-ended toy and can be used for imaginative and creative play.

Ethically made with cotton, this play scarf helps to transform your child's room, various play scenes or a seasonal decoration into beautiful, lively landscapes. The transparent appearance of Ostheimer's cotton scarves make it easy to create various combinations and colour shades. 

Different colours can be combined to make different elements of a play world - green for fields, blue for rivers, yellow for a beach - and create different fancy dress outfits.

Play scarves are essential toys for Montessori and Waldorf Steiner education and play settings.

In 1959, Margarete Ostheimer, a Waldorf teacher (Steiner) in Germany, designs and crafts together with her father a collection of toys, in what is today known as the typical distinctive Ostheimer style, which enliven the imagination. In her own words: “It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and colour of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum. It is apparent how little coaching our children need to dive into their worlds.”
