Playsilks Rock!!

In a world full of noisy electronic gadgets and trinkets that are bombarding our little ones, it's refreshing to find simple, wholesome toys that can truly inspire their creativity and imagination! I have recently discovered the playsilk! Just a simple piece of silk cloth dyed in bright colors! After reading about their possibilities I knew that I wanted my little ones to have some....soooo...you know me, I made them myself! Well, actually I bought the silk scarves and dyed them at home with a little help from the kids! Hayden and Halle assisted me in the dying process and it was a fun experiment but potentially very messy! However, no clothes were harmed during the making of these playsilks!

You might be asking "What can you do with a playsilk?". Well here are just a few ideas:

*be a ghost

*play dress-up (wrap and tie yourself up in so many ways)

*use as a picnic blanket for pretend lunches

*use as a table cloth for tea parties

*wear as a cape and be a super hero

*wear as a veil and be a princess

*wrap up your baby dolls or stuffed animals

*sensory experience- just touch and feel the silk or run around with it flying behind you

*peek-a-boo

*magic tricks

*build a fort using multiple playsilks
*use as a lovey or security blankie

*twirl them around you

*throw them up in the air and watch them dance and flutter their way to the floor

*learn to juggle (especially great with smaller silks)

*the possibilities are as endless as your child's imagination!!

If you are interested in having some playsilks made for your little one just let me know! They truly are a lot of fun for both children and adults! And yes, I did run around the house with a cape tied around my neck (sorry, no pic available)!!
