Sarah's Silks Playsilks
Sarah's Silks Playsilks from Mercurius Australia are perfect for creative and open-ended play.
A basket of coloured playsilks is one of the best additions to a child’s playroom. It is amazing to see what children create with them: Some children make costumes like capes, skirts, pants, hats, veils, animal tails and more. The next day the same silks become green grass for their toy animals to live on, blue water to sail the boats, or a rainbow can appear in the sky above them.
Many children wrap their dolls in them or tie them on as a sling to carry a favourite animal or doll around. They can be used to build forts with sofa cushions, for a puppet show curtain, and for magic tricks. The possibilities are as unlimited as your child's imagination.

For your peace of mind, Sarah's Silks Playsilks are dyed with non-toxic, environmentally-friendly dyes and do not contain any heavy metals.
As a family-owned company Sarah's Silks has been importing sustainably-produced, hand-woven silks from China for many years. Sarah sources her materials from a village near Suzhou, where the workers, mostly women working from home, weave, dye, sew and iron the silk products.
Play Silk Inspiration
Sarah's Silks offers quality silk and cotton playcloths in radiant colors that inspire open-ended play encouraging children to express themselves and the wonders of their imaginations.
Children who develop inner creativity at an early age grow up to become inventive, resourceful adults with a greater depth of creative thinking.
Play Silk Care
