When I taught school full time, I made China silk scarves for movement. My wonderful father-in-law blind stitched around the edges of these large, colorful pieces of fabric, so they would be nearly weightless, but wouldn’t fray.

When I started doing workshops, many participants asked where they could get scarves like mine. As I explored creating scarf sets, the cost of China silk was prohibitive. I finally found this wonderful nylon that was light enough to float on air, available in many vibrant and pastel colors, had an interlocking weave that did not need hemming, and was reasonably priced. I bought bolts and started cutting on my ping-pong table in the garage.

Today, we have our own dye lots and colors, and a wonderful company that cuts the scarves in sizes for early childhood, young children, and older kids. We make 9’ x 9’ canopies that work like parachutes, and sometimes put together seasonal or streamer specials.

The scarves have many uses, limited only by the imagination of adults. Bob McGrath, “Bob” on Sesame Street, told me his granddaughters go for the scarves first thing when they come to visit. They make great birthday gifts, favors, holiday gifts from grandparents or favorite aunts and uncles. They are a rich teaching and learning tool, and our IDEAS Music is perfect to inspire movement.

We are thrilled to be able to offer these quality scarves at such a reasonable price, and we hope you will enjoy them with the children in your lives!
