Green Halloween
"You were once a yellow pumpkin
sitting on a sturdy vine,
Now you are a Jack-o'-lantern,
let your little light shine."
Here at Sarah's Silks we love celebrating festivals! Halloween is a fun one that can be spent doing activities all month that are out in nature and nurturing for young children.
Wonderful ideas for a green, earth-friendly Halloween include pumpkin patch visits, followed by pumpkin carving and baking and eating pumpkin treats. Long walks gathering fall leaves and acorns. Baking bread, making candles, sitting by the fire, and of course, dressing up!
Playsilks are one of the best, most creative tools for making your own costume. We've seen children use them to become ghosts, witches, genies, flying machines, almost anything you can imagine can be created (with a bit of added magic) with a special colored Playsilk.
Adding Face Paint makes even more characters possible - think tiger stripes on cheeks paired with a tiger Playsilk.
Trick-or-treat baskets are another great earth-friendly way to stay away from plastics. Baskets are beautiful and will be used over and over in many ways.

I have four kiddos! This year costumes are – a robot! We’ve been saving up all of our cardboard boxes. Wednesday Addams – perfect because we have lots of dresses in the closet to choose from. An astronaut and a lizard! I suspect there will be some last minute decisions to wear wings and headbands and silk skirts instead 😂

My daughter is dressing up as Boo from Monsters Inc., and a cute little ghost for her 2nd Birthday party the day after. Our little boo is turning 2!

My 4 year old is still deciding what he wants to be. He’s been an astronaut the last couple years, but might branch out this year.

Our family is going to be the cast of The Great British Baking Show. The 4cyear old will be Prue and the 2 year old will be a cake. We plan to use our play scarves as the colors for the cake.

My kiddos don’t have costume plans yet, but my favorite costume we did in the past was when they were granny and gramps, complete with a walker and cane 😆

My daughter wants to be a devil and my son wants to be a monster truck or Luigi. We may have to get creative with making the monster truck but my daughter’s costume should be relatively easy. Just finding a bunch of red clothes and some horns/wings!

My daughters are obsessed with the musical “The Sound of Music”! They requested to use their Sarah Silks to dress up as the Maria (the main character) and the nuns!
