"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.

Stomp, stomp! My toddler twins are dressing up as dinosaurs this year. Of course it has to be a pink/purple and a yellow dinosaur…their favorite colors. They are really starting to get into the Halloween spirit! It’s so fun to see.

My little Arlo is requesting to be an alligator! We’re from SE Louisiana, so they’re quite common. We participate in the traditional Cajun “courir” so I’ll make him a sweet fringed alligator costume he can use for Mardi Gras as well. His baby brother will be the “loup garou,” a traditional swamp monster, using a costume passed down by his older cousin. I think my husband and I might be raccoons! We adore our silks, and give them for gifts as often as possible.

My toddler and I are going as The Color Kittens, Brush and Hush, and I’ve ordered pink and blue Sarah’s Silks scarves to be our neckerchief! My 6 year old wants to be Ttark from Kratt’s Creatures, heaven help me, but I’ve ordered a red play silk and a crown so she can be Kevin Henkes’ Lilly if that little sewing escapade doesn’t pan out 😅
