Love the soft colors

Our 10 month old absolutely loved his rainbow silk. It’s been in regular play rotation since it arrived. Great quality.

Hi Sara!
We're so happy to hear that your little one is enjoying his playsilk! Silk is such a wonderful sensory experience for babies

Not soft, this was the only silk that did not at all feel like silk. The colors are stunning but silk should NOT make sound when moved and played with

We are sorry this silk did not seem as soft as the others! If you ever have quality concerns feel free to contact our customer care directly.

Pastel rainbow silk

Love the pastel colors! We have the large play silk in the bolder rainbow colors but I personally prefer this one and I feel like it's a softer addition to our collection!

We are so glad you are loving the Soft Rainbow Colorway! We love it too!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The soft rainbow colors are so nice, perfect for Easter especially, but will remain well loved and use throughout spring and much more

We're so glad you enjoyed this Playsilk :) Thank you for writing!

Best ā€œtoyā€ money can buy

My daughter plays with silks in so many ways. If you’re on the fence because of price, search for a promo code or wait for the seconds grab bag sale, but you will not regret these. They are used for blankets, forts, bandages, capes, and so much more. Also great for babies!

We love to hear how many great ways you can incorporate Playsilks in your play :) Thanks for sharing!
