How to make it

Safety

Never knot scarves together, and put them away after play. Keep fabric away from necks.

  1. Step 1: Stuff the box

    Stuff them back in together. That's a skill too.

Edie's tip

Swap in different textures, like a silky scarf, a washcloth and a sock, so every pull feels new.
