Ode to Universe Playsilk

When Ella illustrated 'Ode to Universe' she wanted to create a playsilk that sat in accordance with the Steiner philosophy, that was also fun and beautiful. It needed to be gender neutral, abstract, open ended and playful. Ode to Universe is a visual poem, that encapsulates the beauty and unknowable vastness of our existence. I hope it sparks joy in play and creativity for children for many years to come.

Watch children turn their playsilk into a picnic rug, a doll carrier, a cape, soup in a pot, a cubby, grass or water in a small world play scene and so much more. Play silks allow endless possibilities for open ended, imaginary play. Play silks grow with your child’s imagination and allow for new possibilities every day and at every age.

The playsilk is 53 x 53cm and is perfect for baby play and small world play for younger children.

100% 8mm silk. Slightly heavier weight than our other playsilks illustrated playsilks are sure to stand up to even rougher play. 

Children and adults alike enjoy the dreamy sensory properties of these silks. Watch them float on the breeze. Feel them brush your skin. Enjoy the natural shimmery crinkle of their surface. Take them in water for an added sensory experience.

Little Orla Play silks are hand dyed in small batches in Australia. They use non-toxic dyes free of heavy metals. Each colour has been thoughtfully crafted to reflect and celebrate our natural Australian environment. Due to the nature of hand dye each silk is slightly different. We see these subtle variations in tone across the silk as character and not a flaw.

Colours may vary slightly from images displayed, both due to the screen you view them on and the batch.

Silk is hypoallergenic, antifungal and antimicrobial.
