Creative play costumes

Equipment & Resources
From Fafu

Fafu's quirky range of creative play costumes, including capes, cloaks, hats and feet, is now available in the UK.

The Icelandic company moved its operational base to the UK following its acquisition by Tom Shea, owner of resource company Dragonswood and nursery chain Child First.

The range was created by Icelandic designer Hulda Hreioarsdottir, who explains, 'I want to give children the chance to use their imaginations and use the clothes to create their own characters rather than just giving them an off-the-shelf outfit they couldn't change. We know children are imaginative and I want to encourage them to bring that imagination to life.'

Products include Cony hats (EUR13), Poppy cloaks (EUR32), Silky pieces of fabric (EUR5) and Handy shapes of felted wool that fit both hands and feet (EUR14).

All Fafu's products are made from natural materials - wool, felt, silk and cotton - and manufactured in Nepal by local women working under ethical conditions.
