Regrettably, the items have not been delivered yet. Very disappointing as they were supposed to be birthday presents last Sunday, 2-15, 26. I ordered on Feb. 6, thinking that processing and delivery time would be sufficient. Still at a loss.

Hi Margarete,

Lovely shield

This shield is great for multiple ages and can be used for so many costumes. The colors are vibrant and i love that it is soft and lightweight.

It’s all in a shield!

Stars shine down on us giving us light in the darkness. This shield is a protection dome. When you dance in a circle it creates an invisibility mist. Hold it above your head and it shoots fireworks to light your path through the forest. It can send out a bridge across a chasm. You can give your stars as a gift of thanks or as healing medicine, or to take away sadness. Press the star near the handle and you can time travel or shoot through space to a distant planet! Possibilities are endless and so is the fun!

Ooo how whimsical Allison! So glad you are enjoying the Star Shield✨

My son is absolutely in love with his new Sarah's Silks Sword and Shield! From the moment they arrived, he's been a hero on a mission, defending the kingdom and vanquishing imaginary foes. What I love most is how these toys encourage imaginative play and active fun. The sword and shield are incredibly soft and light, making them perfect for little hands and worry-free play. The quality is exceptional, and I know these will withstand countless adventures to come. Thank you, Sarah's Silks, for creating such wonderful toys that inspire creativity and bring joy!

We deeply appreciate your review, Andrea! This is the magic we strive to inspire with our toys, so it makes us so happy to hear this.😊
