A Great Christmas Gift!

Even though my kids haven't opened these yet, from my initial overview, these are well-made and soft enough for an epic battle with no injuries!

Sounds like a blast!

My daughter loves this! The colors, weight, and size are perfect for her (4 years old). Definitely a favorite in her dress up rotation!

We are so happy the Rainbow Soft Sword is the perfect addition to her play collection!:)

Excellent fun!

My children LOVE these swords, and I love that they can’t get hurt going into battle with them 😆 Even my 10 month old waves his around (blue one). And the girls love their purple ones. My 3yo boy (red one) uses his religiously. The little gold ribbon falls off somewhat quickly, but they’re so cute, I just don’t care.

How sweet that the swords are creating such fun memories in your home!:)

Such a great sword!

Bought two of these for my daughters (ages 5 and 3) and they love them so much. They pretend like they’re fighting bad guys everyday. The swords seem to hold up well so far and they pair so well with the silks that my daughters use as capes. Would highly recommend! We love Sarah’s Silks.

Sounds like such a blast! We hope your little ones enjoy the swords for many magical years to come!✨

My 5 yr old loves this! The foam is soft and squishy but dense enough to not worry about breaking

Addicted to everything

I love these swords so much that we have at least one of every color. My 3 yr old son will hand out swords to all the adults and we would play fight. We also have all the shields as well to protect us from his wild flailing. I love these swords and the quality is amazing even being handled by a tiny terror, it’s still intact.

This sounds like such a blast! Thank you for sharing the fun times enjoyed with the Soft Swords and Shields, we love to hear all about it!

Always pleasantly surprised

Anytime I order online I expect there to be some kind of flaw in a product, Sarahs silks has always been 100% quality and I haven’t found anything to be unsatisfactory. I ordered a few items to put in this years Easter baskets and I am so happy that I did!

Thank you so much for including Sarah's Silks in your Easter Baskets this year! We hope you enjoy everything

I ordered the soft sword in three different colors and my grandchildren LOVE them! They are soft enough not to cause injury, but sturdy enough to allow creative play!

Aw, how heartwarming to hear how much the Soft Swords have been loved already! Thank you, Amy!

Has held up well for a year

We have had two sets of swords and shields for over a year now. My kids are not gentle with them, have played with them in the sprinkler, inside, outside, trampoline, ect. They have held up so well. They do have a few spots that need to be mended (nothing a needle and thread can’t solve). For as much play my kids have gotten out of these, they are well worth the price. They have held up much better and longer than the $5 ones from bigger name stores. They do not hurt (unless poked in the eye) and are very soft and flexible. Great toy. I’ll be buying more as backup for Easter baskets.

This makes us beyond happy to hear, Jenn! We strive to create high-quality toys that inspire imagination and last for years of fun! Thank you so much for thinking of us for your Easter baskets this year, we are so happy to be apart of the festivities:)

Very sturdy!!

I was honestly really surprised with how sturdy this is! My 4 year old has not been gentle with it at all and it still looks like it did the day she got it!

We're so happy to hear this! Swords are some of our favorites too :)

Two year old in love!

We got this for our almost three year old daughter for Easter because she was constantly making swords out of sticks. I don’t think she’s put it down - she’s always “sword-ing” something! We’re gonna get more!

That is great to hear! Sticks can be less safe to use so we are so happy to hear she loves the Soft Sword :)
