Why Children LOVE Playcottons:

Playcottons share the same simplicity and versatility as our Playsilks - They're inspiring, magical toys that children will be drawn to play with time and time again. The simplicity and open-ended nature of Playcottons tap directly into the child’s creative potential.

  • Open-ended play with Playcottons allows children to express their imagination and support their independence.
  • Wide, sturdy, and vibrantly colored, these Playcottons are perfect for fort building; they let just enough light in, but also provide a private space to play.
  • Sustainably made from seed to toy, our Playcottons are made with organic cotton and dyed with all-natural, sustainably farmed indigenous plant dyes

Many families use them as table coverings and decorations for rainbow birthday parties.

    Perfect

    We bought several silks for my daughter’s 3rd birthday recently and we love them, but I wanted something for her to use with her play couch to make a fort or to use when playing tea party. Enter the Cotton Blossom Cloth! It’s perfection! It’s beautiful and feels sturdy, yet is soft. She uses it all the time to play and even to wrap herself up when she’s watching a movie.

    Perfect for forts!

    This has been our daughter’s favorite so far. It’s perfect for forts (her favorite thing to do) water play, a blanket, or a dress! We love how quickly it dries as well.

    Feels much more sturdy thank the silks. Perfect for kids who are more rough at play. Please make more play cloths in more colors! The quality of the cotton is excellent, soft and durable.

    Set of beautiful silks

    I wanted to order one of everything from the website! What was received was absolutely beautiful, and the savings was phenomenal!
    They haven't been used yet, as they're for a gift in August for my daughter!
    She will be so excited for the imagination play. Her favorite color is pink and rainbow!

    Pure magic

    Love, love, love these beautiful silks! There is a certain energy that flows whilst my little one plays with these, and this energy is undeniably pure magic! We love mixing our silks with seasonal flowers for a special brew. 😉

    Love so much

    I got a set of 6 classic silks, a set of 4 giant silks, and then this rainbow cotton blossom cloth. The rainbow cotton blossom cloth is my absolute favorite. My 8 year old is in love, she's worn it as a cape for the last 3 days. They love the silks too, but this cloth specifically is her favorite.

    Silks, capes and wrist streamers were a hit!

    I love the quality of the products that I bought! I bought a cape and wrist streamers for two neighbors’ daughters and they loved them- they were running around immediately wearing them. My kids loved the silks that I bought for their Easter baskets. The cloths have been used as capes, as part of princess dresses and as forts already. Well worth the price!

    I love these soft and strong play clothes. My children and grandchildren were wrapped in their beautiful colors from birth and the quality allows them to become a creative play cloth for years as a fort, comforting blanket or whatever else they imagine.

    Versatile, beautiful, fun.

    So beautiful and colorful and soft! My kids love to use this to make forts, play dress up, swaddle their babies and all sorts of things. I think the size is perfect and I love the soft colors. This is the second rainbow play cloth we’ve bought, the first one was used as a curtain and while the new one is much brighter since it hasn’t been in the sun for years, the old one is still very beautiful. The old one has held up very well (it hasn’t been used as a curtain in a while, so it takes its share of rough play!)

    Open-ended play and beautiful colors

    My kids love this larger version to play with. Ages 5 and 8 and they come up with so many creative ideas for play. Definitely a good purchase for an open-ended play, creativity inspiring piece. The colors are also so beautiful! Great piece of cloth.

    Somewhere over the playcloth

    This is our favorite. We use it for everything. A rainbow floor, a dress, a rainbow roof for a Nugget fort. So much fun. We need more playcloths ASAP!

    Great for all kinds of play

    These things are huge! They worked perfectly to surround our delta wood playhouse and surprise the kids for Christmas Day. I was worried they’d be too short as the house is larger than the Sarah’s silks play frame but they were just right. Even a bit of overhang which the kids are using as an awning for their ice cream shop/hang out. The littlest ties one around herself and sings songs from frozen while swishing her rainbow cape. The thicker material doesn’t inhibit her play at all.

    Great for outdoors!

    My kids have been missing their outdoor school so I put together a basket of “adventure” things and this cloth is perfect. It’s lightweight and the rainbow colors are so beautiful. So far it’s been a royal cape, a flag, a tent & a picnic blanket. I was worried it might feel rough compared to the silk but it’s still soft and seems like it will hold up better for being only used outside.

    Great product and customer service

    The product is well made and so colorful! I was hoping to incorporate more open ended play items into our rotation and this will provide endless possibilities! It didn’t arrive initially as ordered, however customer service was very responsive and corrected the issue immediately. A company’s customer service is one of the most important things in my book, and Sarah’s Silks nailed it.

    My son's favorite!

    We are fans of the silks but the cotton blossom cloth has quickly become my son's favorite. We love the light airy texture of this cloth as well as the beautiful colors. It's a generous size that will serve multiple purposes in our home. Overall we are very happy with our rainbow cotton blossom cloth.
