Green Halloween
"You were once a yellow pumpkinĀ
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.Ā
Adding Face Paint makes even more characters possible - think tiger stripes on cheeks paired with a tiger Playsilk.Ā
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 witch this year and my son is still deciding between a frog and other creatures. If he does decide on the frog Iām leaning towards āRoom on the Broomā theme for myself and my husband.

My daughter has been begging to be a ghost. I think weāre going to make our costume out of an old dress, tutu, and some felt! Fingers crossed I can figure it out, lol!

Holly (2.5) is so excited to be Cinderella this Halloween. Her blue play silks have inspired her to be a princess on the way to the ball where she can dance all night long.
