Sarah's SilksPlaysilk - 100% Real Silk, Hand Dyed, Bright Colored Play Scarves | Montessori and Waldorf Toys for Dress up, Imaginative, and Pretend Play (35" x 35")

A bit disappointed to be honest.. I am a preschool/ home montessori teacher, and have been eyeing Sarah's silks for quite a while, but haven't been able to make a big investment until recently selling off all of our kids non-open ended toys to purchase some better options. I was so excited to finally try these out! I was planning on purchasing 2 sets of "seconds" to save a little, and get the best variety, but thought I would invest in one "good" one first, just to be sure the materials were what I was hoping for. I'm sad to say I will not be purchasing anymore, as this play silk came with a unraveled hem, and loose thread (basically what I would have expected as a "second") maybe this isn't a normal thing to happen, but was very disappointing.

I hand dyed play silks for my daughter, but I wanted to see how a Sarah’s Silk would match up. (After hearing sooo much about them) This silk is shinier, but mine are softer. Other than that they are pretty much equal. The hand dyed silks cost less and it was a lot of fun to dye them. There are some things that Sarah’s silks make that I can not and I will definitely be buying them from this company, just not anymore of these silks

Bought this for my now 22 month old daughter about 3 months ago, since I found she loved playing with my fake silk dresses. She plays with this so much more than I thought she would, especially considering her age!!!! I have seen her develop so much sensory and imaginative skill when she uses this!!! She learned to use it as a cape, blanket for her dolls, rubs it over her face, wears it as a veil, she lays it on the ground and rolls on it, even sleeps with it!!! It's the perfect size for her, it's so lightweight it just floats above her so magically when I toss it over her. Color was exact, and is very snag resistant! LOVE this and hope to purchase more for her!!!!!

Beautiful playsilks! The colors were exactly as I had expected. Since playsilks in general are a bit pricey, for my 9-month-old daughter I've decided to get her a couple here and there. By the time she's a preschooler she should have a decent collection. By no means does that mean the ones we've bought her don't get put to use now! Aside from my 7-year-old snatching them to use as dress-up, my baby LOVES to play peek-a-boo with these. They're slightly sheer so when underneath she can somewhat see me. I toss it into the air above her and it looks heavenly as it slowly drifts down. I can tie a knot in it and she loves to chew on it. She just loves to feel them and I wouldn't be surprised if one of them turned into her lovie!

We gave this to our one month old and he has loved it ever since. I've never seen a baby take to anything like this before. It quiets him so quickly. My older ones love to use it for imaginative play when the baby isn't using it. Only negative thing is that it had a hole in it a month after we got it. It tears pretty easily. I'm not interested in paying $15 for a product that keeps ripping within a few months of playing with. At least we know it's loved on!

These are lovely play silks! We continue to buy them (in other colors) because we enjoy them so much. They are very sheer and thin, but they are silk so I expected that. My kids enjoy how light they are so they can flow through the air so nicely as capes, parachutes, etc.

every child should have these scarves in their playpen...they won't need much else! if left to their own imaginations, you'll be stunned at what they decide to do with these silks!!! do NOT think of them as for girls only...capes, fort covers, indoor swings, etc...are some of the things boys do with them. best of all, they're so well made and beautiful, they'll last forever, and look great in your home!

I was extremely skeptical of the playsilk thing, but my two year old wraps this around herself every day and insists it is "Princess dress" when worn as a shawl. It's beautiful and fluid and has stood up okay to being twisted, vacuumed, and chewed on.

Be advised, these prices are for ONE playsilk, not a BASKET as in the photo. $40 for one silk is crazy. I had to chase down my refund as well...
