  • Adventure Silks Running River: The boy and the girl kneel on either side of the silk, which lies flat in loose, soft folds across the floorboards as a long winding river. The girl smooths one bend with both hands while the boy tugs the far end into a new curve, on the wooden floorboards of a sitting room beside a simple rug.
  • Adventure Silks Running River: The girl runs across the lawn holding one corner of the silk high above her head, so the whole cloth streams and ripples out behind her at full length. The boy runs close behind, reaching up to catch the trailing edge, on an open lawn scattered with fallen autumn leaves, with an old tree and a hedge behind.
  • Adventure Silks Running River: The girl sits on the woman's lap while the woman holds up a doubled-over corner of the silk to the window, so daylight shines through the sheer cloth and the blues deepen where the layers overlap. The girl reaches up to stroke the cloth with one hand, on a cushioned window seat beside a tall sash window.

Description

A river gives a story somewhere to go. Lay this generously sized play silk across the floor and it runs wherever your child sends it: round the sofa, under the table, out into the hall. Who lives on the far bank? How do you get there without getting wet? Your child decides, and the answer changes every time, because a silk that does nothing in particular leaves the thinking to them.

Bend it, cross it

Pull it into a curve and you have a winding river. Bunch it up and it narrows to a stream a small figure can leap. A cushion makes a stepping stone, a book becomes a bridge. And where there's a bridge, there's room for a troll underneath. The river can be redrawn mid-game, so the story can change course with it.

A whole world on the floor

Small world play needs a setting, and a river gives the landscape its shape. Other Adventure Silks can join it as a forest along one bank, a frozen lake upstream and mountains where the water begins. Animals come down to drink, boats push off and a hero has to get across before nightfall. How big is the world? As big as the floor you give it.

Off the floor and onto your child

When the river has run its course, the same silk becomes a cape, a cloak or a mermaid's tail knotted at the waist. It's strong enough to be pulled, tied and tugged from one game to the next, and big enough to cover a small adventurer from shoulders to knees.
