Sarah's Silks - Playsilks

$25.90 AUD
12 reviews

 Children have always used found items to create toys and props for imaginative play.

Around the world they have used their mother’s scarves and pieces of cloth to make toys. Picking up a piece of cloth, a piece of wood, or a common housebound object allows children to use their imagination in a different way than giving them already formed objects.

Putting their creative forces to work is important for creative thinking in adulthood.

A basket of colored playsilks is one of the best additions to a child’s playroom. It is amazing to see what children create with them.

Some children make costumes like capes, skirts, pants, hats, veils, animal tails and more. The next day the same silks become green grass for their toy animals to live on, blue water to sail the boats, or a rainbow can appear in the sky above them. Many children wrap their dolls in them or tie them on as a sling to carry a favorite animal or doll around in. They can be used to build forts with the sofa cushions, for a puppet show curtain, and for magic tricks.

  • Size 90cm x 90cm

Suitable for ages 3+

Great open ended play

I love using Sarah's silks in my day care, the children use them when dancing, dressing up, to make cubby houses and we use them to set up small world play, such great open ended play resources! I do have to be mindful about how I wash them, particularly as they have to be washed often, but otherwise a great resource!

Always Lovely Quality

I love the versatility of Sarah's Silks. They always have a beautiful feel and can be used for so many things - small world play, dolls, covers and dress ups. I have collected all sorts of colours over the years, as I had the full cycle of the Sarah's Silks subscription.

Our play silks

My eldest daughter absolutely loves silks. She is still using them 2 years on. I love the many creative ways she finds a use for them. My 6 month old has just discovered them and loves when they are hanging above her dangling down for her to reach.

A must have for any playroom

I love Sarah’s Silks, they’re just gorgeous, soft, and so versatile for open ended play. Our girls love them so much! We also give them away as gifts by using them as wrapping paper. Such a brilliant idea!

My Grandson loves Sarah’s silks and uses it for many different play activities. From a landscape (red lava) to draping the fabric over himself! So many possibilities
