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 nearly 23 months old toddler will be 2y on Halloween and I’m excited to get her costume for the first time, but she’s not into costumes yet and she’s scared of those costumes, but she’s been playing with Sarah’s silk rainbow, and unicorn, so I ordered a whole set of safari (haven’t received yet)and since she’s been into animals, I’m convinced that she will choose one of the safari playsilk to be her first Halloween costume ever!

Hi! I’m from the Netherlands and I’m gonna do my best writing an english comment 🌻 Halloween is not a very big holiday here but I still want to try my luck! As we don’t dress up for Halloween here, my two boys won’t have a costume – but we do welcome the fall with open arms by plucking apples, going on walks in the forest and baking pies 🥧
