Sarah Lee, the designer and creator of Sarah’s Silks, was inspired to make a line of her own imaginative play silks while her eldest son wanted to make a set of wings. Always pointing out a particular silk scarf of her’s, Sarah came up with the perfect solution. Silk scarves do make excellent superhero or insect wings!
Before long, Sarah Lee really started listening to the concerns of her fellow Waldorf parents, and wanted to deliver a creative line of natural toys that was also in-line with the Waldorf School’s signature creative based education program.
The Waldorf educational philosophy encourages the use of imaginative play and creativity as a tool for teaching a wide range of different subjects, from art, reading comprehension, math to science! Just a few feet of flowing green silk can help any kid transform into a turtle, lizard, Godzilla, or even the Incredible Hulk! And that same piece of green silk can even help that same child understand plant life cycles or mathematical volume.
A colorful alternative to prepackaged Halloween costumes, kids can great their own one-of-a-kind characters for Halloween parties and fairytale costumes for school plays using simple yet beautiful play silks. However colorful play silks aren’t limited to just costumes and everyday dress up; it’s also a great resource for decorating a child’s bedroom, highlighting their favorite colors and themes.
For example, to create a lush jungle-inspired kids bedroom, create a flowing silk tent from rolls of various green shades. This is a great way to make a simple and easy dressing area, make-believe play area, arts and crafts corner, or a whimsical tea room for the stuffed animals. In lieu of painting and repainting bedroom walls to suffice those ever-changing tastes, Sarah’s Silks can quickly transform a kids bedroom into something totally new and exciting as well.
Regardless of whether you want to create a “Wednesdays we wear pink” room for teenage girls, or a Ninja Turtle green kid’s cave, you CAN make it happen with a rainbow of unique play silks. Learn more about the many possibilities of these inspired play toys!
