Play Silks Playsilks have long been considered alternative. As they make their way to the mainstream marketplace, play ideas discussed here will help parents make the transition to these very open ended play toys.
The easiest jump in the mind is to Dress up play.
30 inch silks are perfect for young children... 18 mos - 3 years old. This size is more manageable for little bodies.
36 inch silk squares are the most popular because they are big enough for most silk dressage ideas and they are affordable to buy in quantity, allowing for versatility.
Silk Capes have beautiful pure satin silk ties, that are a tactile experience for children. Sewn and fixed in place, they are easy to tie and are truly magical in coloring and styling. Every child should have their own silk cape, and two together offer twice as many dress up possibilities.

and texture, grounding exercises, nature table adornment,

Creative Floor Play:
Use Terrascapes to provide the foundation for adding small figures,

treasures in an easy-to-grab natural fiber basket, so that set-up
and clean-up are a pleasure.
