They are all so flimsyā€¦ I honestly do not understand the hype. Kids pulled fibers the first day, no way they can play outdoors or with any toys without making a hole in them. Get your kids something else, itā€™s too flimsy for the price.

Nice

We enjoy the versatility of our silks. I would buy them again.

The review asks for overall experience, but I would still like to add some specifics I wish I knew in advance.

1. The specific colors on the mixed silks. Preferably a flat picture without the silk bunched. I purchased one thinking it was mixed blue, and it had a lot of green.
2. One of the play options is in the bath. But our bath water turned very blue. I would suggest soaking/washing them 3 times before putting them in the bath water.

Thank you for your feedback, Patricia! We are happy to hear you are enjoying the silks:)

Great for Baby!

I didnā€™t plan to use this so soon with my baby. Four months old now and LOVES it. I billow it over him while heā€™s on his play mat and he giggles and reaches for it. Itā€™s his favorite version of peek-a-boo. Highly recommend for all ages, Iā€™m sure this will grow with him.

Thank you for sharing!

Choosing my color and item was so easy and my silk was delivered fast. My grandsons silk was packaged perfectly.The minute he opened his present he loved feeling it and throwing it over his head to trickle down on his face and laughed. I will be buying more colors for him! Thank you for the beautiful gift

Love!

I ordered these as a stocking stuffer for my 5 year old son. I used Christmas as a way to move towards open ended toys and had no idea how it would play out. These silks are easily his favorite gift. He has played his little heart out and they have transformed into so many things. Not to mention they are absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be making more purchases in the future.
