I bought these for my grandchildren- age 6.5 and 11 months old. They both enjoy the silks in different ways. I got 6 different colors (rainbow) and they’ve had a great time using them as hats, playing peekaboo and throwing them up in the air and catching them. A great purchase.

Consistent quality

The last time I ordered from here was 5 years ago for my son with sensory issues. We are coming up on a big translation and he expressed a wish to have a scarf again. This one feels exactly the last one and meets his sensory needs.

Thank you for sharing Kristen. We are so happy the silk meets your son's needs.

Just what I was hoping for

I’ve had many Sarah’s silks over the years…my kids are all young adults now. However I recently purchased more silks to wrap up little items for a young, one year old friend’s birthday celebration. These mini silks were perfect! The colors were solid and not see through at all, and the silk is thick enough to stand up to lots of use, and the size is ideal for little people so not trip or work with to much fabric. Would recommend!

Thank you for the recommendation! :)

Lost parcel ?

I never received my play silks for my children… I bought them around the beginning of March and we are almost may now. How can we fix this issue? Or is there an email I can reach out to. I’ve gone to my local post office since the end of March to beginning of April and they said they haven’t received it

Favorite Gift

My children have a set of mini playsilks I purchased two years ago and they are still played with every day. They hand wash well and show minimal wear. I recently purchased another set because my sister in law expressed interest in playsilks for her children after seeing how much they are used here. I have been wrapping smaller birthday gifts in the silks for my nieces and nephews and they have been so delighted by the wrapping that then becomes a dress up item or part of a pretend scene. Wonderful quality product that inspires imagination - I will definitely purchase more!

Hi Laura!

This warms our heart to hear😊 We hope the Playsilks bring joy for years to come!

A favorite in our house

These have been such a hit. Watching the imaginative play they inspire has been so fun to be part of. It’s one of those toys that keeps getting used over and over again. I really appreciated the sale too since it’s not always something we can splurge on, but it’s something that gets asked for often. We’ll definitely be back to buy again.

We hope the silks bring years of joy!:)

I do not recommend these silks. Poor craftsmanship, the “finished” edges of the silks have strings hanging down and the mushroom holder is unfinished wood and immediately snagged and pulled on the silks we had hanging, they look terrible and they haven’t even been used yet. Incredibly disappointed, as this was a gift for our 3 year old.

For the cost, the quality is just not worth it, there are infinitely better products out there.
