    We love the Fire Playsilk! The color is gorgeous, and the silk has such a beautiful feel. This is probably the sixth one we've purchased. My daughter is now 25, and we bought our first one when she was 6 years old.
    I just ordered another because we have one hanging in front of a west-facing window in her bedroom. When the sunlight shines through it, it's absolutely beautiful!
    Don't get me wrong ~ the playsilks are incredibly durable. But years of love from little hands, along with nature's breeze blowing through the open window, as well as my daughter wanting a new one for her first apartment have led us to replace it from time to time. Every one has been just as lovely as the first.

    Made in China, feels very different quality wise than the ones I used for families I nanny for in the past years. Have my own baby now and bought him some and they feel so flimsy, like drop shipped cheap chinese products. I was so shocked when I opened the package. Even the packaging looks amazon/cheapy/sweatshop vibes. My baby is having fun with them, and they are very pretty and flowy, but I’m a little disappointed in the quality.

    Beautiful and fun

    I bought three playsilks for my 5 year old and two year old grandkids. We were all far from home at Christmas and I needed compact gifts. The silks were an immediate hit. Worn as capes. Draped around other toys. Will be fun to see how they are played with at home!

    Thank you for your sweet review! We hope the silks are loved by your grandkids for years to come❤️

    Love Sarah’s Silks

    This is my second purchase from Sarah’s silks, and I love every item! My 3.5 year old does also! They’ve lasted over a year so far… they’ve been super capes, scarves, blankets, bonnets, skirts, you name it.

    That's so wonderful to hear all the fun ways your little one is using their Playsilks :)

    Love it!

    It's so much fun! I love how flowy and light it is! My son, 4yo, lives being a superhero and running around with it as it flows behind him! It's his favorite colors too! And I also have a 3 month old who loves when I wave it around above her, so many smiles😊 I did notice a run starting but I feel like that was bound to happen, especially when playing outside and in the woods. We also had fun tying a tennis ball in the middle and throwing it back and forth👍

    Problems fixed quickly

    Items are of very good quality, I’ve had the rainbow silk for years now and it’s still so beautiful. We’ve expanded our collection now with a few other gorgeous silks. Unfortunately there was a problem with the delivered items (mini in stead of regular size were delivered), but costumer services fixed this very quickly and smoothly, I’m so pleased with the quality and their service, thank you!

    Amazing!

    The colors are so vibrant! It makes for so much fun and creativity with little ones. We are so excited about this and can't wait to order more. The size is perfect to tie around little necks and bodies. The possibilities are truly endless.

    2nd Generation of Sarah's Silk

    When my boys were young they loved these silk cloths so much that they were featured in most of their play and their quality was so high that my 6 year old grandson still plays with those at my house. I recently bought him a set to have at home and he was thrilled! They are ponds, seas, lava, fields, super hero capes and much more! One of the most enduring, imaginative, and of course FUN toys any child could have.

    Great for dress up

    I got three of these and they are a perfect size for capes and making different dresses. They play with these more than the dress up costumes and they are so much easier to store than bulky costumes! I’ll be ordering more so I can have a large collection!
