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.

My daughter wants to be a light fury, so I’m thinking solid white sweatpants and sweatshirt, and we will make the wings and a hat with big light fury eyes

My best friend and I had babies 3 months apart so we are all going as a group costume. Me and the other mom are going as witches and our children are going as a black cat and a toad. It will be super cute! 🐸👻🐱

My little one wants to be everything! She’s 4, and every day she chooses something else. First it was a dragon, then a fairy, then a unicorn dragon fairy, yesterday was a rainbow, today she wants to be a spider.
The playsilks will come in handy when she decides last minute what she will be : D
