Looking for a way to help your little butterflies burst out of their cocoons and enjoy the promise of spring? Look no further. There are so many different games you can invent with playsilks. One of my favorites is the Sleeping Butterfly game. It's so easy to enjoy—the only thing you need is a playsilk. Here's how to play...

Playsilks play in mysterious ways...we know this is true. One minute the kids are playing with them, the next minute we find ourselves playing and imagining all the things each silk might do. You can imagine how happy we are when we learn that we're not the only "older" kids playing with silks.

My friend, Carol, told me for years how her daughter, Katie, enjoys playsilks. I decided it was time to get to the heart of the matter and talk with Katie myself.

My nice red rosy apple, has a secret all unseen...

"Advent, advent a candle burns

First one, then two, then three then four

Their stands the child outside the door."

We light our candles adding one each week. The children put little shells and bones on week one, around the candles.

Week two they add some greens and other plant life found in our yard.
