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.

We love the open-ended play and multi-age appropriateness of Sarah’s silks. They have so many uses and our children find more and more new uses for them all the time. We love to see their creativity bloom.

Last year, my daughter went as a princess for Halloween. The Sarah’s Silks Princess costume has been worn almost daily since then! Still deciding what to be this year…

I’d love to be considered. As a preschool classroom teacher and whole school music teacher, there are so many fun activities I could do with these!

The creativity goes father with less. The silks allow my kids to change from being mermaids with veils to a landscape for their figures. With autumn around the corner we are collecting acorn, leaves, and seeds to see how they are now and what they become in spring. Real life is something amazing too!
