"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.

I will have 3 dressing up this year and although I think a theme would be fun, but their independent spirits have different ideas. We are working out the details, but I see a Ninja Turtle, fairy, and mushroom as highly possible.

It has to be Spider-Man this year for my 2 and 3 year olds. Wish there was a convincing way to DIY that one!

We don’t have costumes yet, this giveaway would be the perfect solution for us to pick some out. My kids have been wanting the mermaid sets!

My little guy already has two costumes (astronaut and dinosaur) because dressing up is one of his favorite things! lol so he will probably be one of those two things.

My daughter is dressing up as a fairy. She loves that they have a wand that they are magical and they bring joy and happiness to the world.

The most versatile Halloween costume is a cardboard box. You can be all sorts of things! I painted my son a WALL-E costume when we was two and then his little sister came along. I found the perfect 12" cube box and painted her one as well. They are both the cutest WALL-Es :)
