Why Parents Love Sarah's Silks
Sarah's Silks has been crafting open-ended play materials since 1998. Each piece is hand-dyed using OEKO-TEX certified, non-toxic dyes on 100% pure mulberry silk — lightweight, breathable, and incredibly vibrant. Whether your child drapes a playsilk as a cape, a river, a butterfly wing, or a fort wall, the possibilities are truly limitless.
Sarah's Silks are a favorite in Waldorf, Montessori, and nature-inspired play environments because they encourage children to use their imagination rather than following scripted play. The rainbow of colors supports color recognition and sensory exploration in babies and toddlers, while older children use them for dramatic play, storytelling, and fort building.

Sarah's Silks: Frequently Asked Questions
What are Sarah's Silks made of?
Sarah's Silks are made from 100% pure mulberry silk, dyed with OEKO-TEX certified non-toxic dyes. They are free from harmful chemicals, making them safe for babies and young children. The silk is lightweight, soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating.
Are Sarah's Silks safe for babies?
Yes — Sarah's Silks use only OEKO-TEX certified, non-toxic dyes and pure mulberry silk. However, as with any fabric or play scarf, playsilks should always be used under adult supervision for babies and very young toddlers to prevent any risk of entanglement.
What age are Sarah's Silks for?
Sarah's Silks are enjoyed from infancy through childhood and beyond. Babies love the sensory experience of the soft, lightweight silk. Toddlers and preschoolers use them for dress-up, fort-building, and pretend play. School-age children incorporate them into storytelling, puppet shows, and creative projects. They're truly a toy that grows with your child.
What is the difference between a playsilk and a play scarf?
Playsilk and play scarf are interchangeable terms for the same product — a large, open-ended piece of pure silk used in imaginative play. Sarah's Silks uses both terms. They come in a range of sizes, from small scarves to large playsilks that can cover a playstand or serve as a full costume.
How do you wash Sarah's Silks?
Sarah's Silks recommend hand-washing in cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral soap (like Woolite or baby shampoo). Gently squeeze out water — do not wring — and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant colors. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are Sarah's Silks worth it?
Absolutely. Sarah's Silks are considered a worthwhile investment by parents, educators, and play therapists because they are durable, open-ended, and grow with children for years. Unlike battery-operated toys or single-use play sets, a playsilk can be used in hundreds of different ways across many years of play. Many families consider them heirloom-quality items that can be passed down.
