Try Playsilks in the Water!
Put your Playsilks in water to make bubbles.
A silk & wood childhood
Play is the world of the child. Through play the child learns and discovers their inner selves and the outer world around them!
Open-ended, loose parts essential toy
Children naturally engage in deep, meaningful play when provided with simple, open-ended toys, like Playsilks.
Nice variety at a good price I did an unboxing on TikTok
We love the variety of colors and the quality is great!
wonderful items as always!
Great quality and awesome for open ended play. My 3 and 1 year olds both love them. I expected imperfections since it was a grab bag, but didn’t even notice anything wrong with them. Not complaining!
Purchased them for my daughter and cant wait to see her play!!
I really liked the sizes of all the silk but several were similar in color. Otherwise it was a great deal.
We loved Sarahs silks! The seconds pricing is unbeatable. Never dissapointed.
We love you too and we love it when our wonderful customers like you are not disappointed!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a variety of solid colors in the grab bag - red, orange, yellow, green, purple. I did not notice any defects in the items and they are just as good as a full price item! I will be back for more grab bags!
Fantastic! :)
My kids love playing with these!
Daughter loves making capes, dresses, grass or rivers for her animals, or play forts!!
Hi Ashley,
Super cute pic! Thank you for sharing!
Our kids play with these every single day - and have for years. Most toys don’t help kids play or imagine but these playsilks do both. They are costumes, decorations, table spreads, gift wrap, headdresses, baby carriers, aprons, wings, capes, gifts, tails, rivers, and tents. I’m not a big fan of toys, but these I will continue to purchase again and again!
Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that the Playsilks have brought so much joy and creativity❤️
Play silks are quintessential in my classroom
We hope the Playsilks can be enjoyed for many years to come✨

The grab bag was fun and we loved the surprise!
We are so happy to hear you loved the Grab bag!❤️
We loved our Playsilks grab bag! We received 5 beautiful silks! 3 solid colors and 2 ombré silks! Could only find a small flaw with one of them. The others I assume are just overstock! Definitely worth the gamble in my opinion! We’ve been playing with them nonstop!
We're so glad you are happy with the Playsilk Grab Bag!
It was so fun being surprised and a great value - I can’t find anything wrong with the playsilks in my bag!
Yay! That is great to hear! We are happy you like the grab bag :)
Great value and loved the colors
That is so amazing to hear!
Absolutely thrilled with everything in our bag! We got a pair of wrist streamers in orange and pink. I was really hoping for wrist streamers and was thrilled to get such a gorgeous color way! We also got some fairy wings, a pair of pants, a regular streamer, and a mask. My daughter is a bit young for most of it but it will definitely make an excellent gift in the next year or so!
How exciting! It definitely makes future gifting easier :)
I’m very happy with the Playsilks in our grab bag! They are all lovely - I even got a watercolor one that is so pretty.
That is so great to hear! It is so fun to get a surprise set of Playsilks :)

I know that they are grab bags, but I received the exact same silks from my first grab bag as my second grab bag. So I can't really say that I would recommend this to anybody. Definitely disappointing.
Hi there! All of our grab bags are made at the same time, and we usually have a large amount of the same items! If you order more than one of the same grab bag, you will likely get duplicates :)
Love the seconds.
I love Sarah's Silks grab bags. I like that I'm helping avoid waste by buying these "seconds" and I'm still really impressed with the quality. I like the variety as well, it's a fun way to build my collection.
Was a nice assortment of colors and all in great shape!
Thank you for your kind words!
This was my first purchase of play silks so I took a gamble with the grab bag. I was secretly hoping for a rainbow one and to my surprise when I opened the package, there was one inside! I also received a pink, seasonal navy, and two blue/green enchanted and watercolor silks. All of the colors were ones I would have chosen myself. I do wish we would have gotten only one blue/green and another color variation instead since those are so similar but overall I’m happy because my kids love them! The only reason I can tell they were seconds quality is because a couple of them were wrinkled. Otherwise the rest look brand new. Very happy with my purchase!
Im very happy with this grab bag! I love the surprise selection and everything looks great. I will definitely purchase more!
I ordered some giant/fort grab bags and a standard silk grab bag. Especially happy with the giant ones, all the large silk colours are beautiful, so can't really go wrong there, and a great price, plus even got a couple that were 9ft length rather than the new 6ft which was a real bonus. The standard silk bag was more of a mix some lovely ones but not all to my taste, but I knew that was a risk and for the price I have no issue, my son will enjoy them regardless (he is less fussy than me)!
Beautiful quality. Will buy more
Kinda disappointed in the colors sent., a pack of browns and yellows.
Great quality
My daughter loved her silks
