Green Halloween
"You were once a yellow pumpkin
sitting on a sturdy vine,
Now you are a Jack-o'-lantern,
let your little light shine."
Here at Sarah's Silks we love celebrating festivals! Halloween is a fun one that can be spent doing activities all month that are out in nature and nurturing for young children.
Wonderful ideas for a green, earth-friendly Halloween include pumpkin patch visits, followed by pumpkin carving and baking and eating pumpkin treats. Long walks gathering fall leaves and acorns. Baking bread, making candles, sitting by the fire, and of course, dressing up!
Playsilks are one of the best, most creative tools for making your own costume. We've seen children use them to become ghosts, witches, genies, flying machines, almost anything you can imagine can be created (with a bit of added magic) with a special colored Playsilk.
Adding Face Paint makes even more characters possible - think tiger stripes on cheeks paired with a tiger Playsilk.
Trick-or-treat baskets are another great earth-friendly way to stay away from plastics. Baskets are beautiful and will be used over and over in many ways.

Sarah
Looking forward to Halloween!

We love Halloween! My daughter will be Shirley Temple for Halloween. We’ll use a red mini Sarah’s Silk for her headband bow. And look forward to going to the pumpkin patch and trick or treating with friends.

My almost 2 year old has been very into animals. So I’m gonna be using my limited makeup skills and an animal print dress to make it happen.

We love playsilks because of the flexibility- we don’t know what he will be yet but we have creative ways to imagine and bring the idea to life.

My niece is full into her imagination play era. She loves pretending to be “let it go” and has elected her family members to be other characters from the movie and her pretend play. I’ll be making her Elsa dress and am especially excited to make an Olaf costume for her dad!
