"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.

This is year whole family will be dressing up as the Addams Family, as requested by my four year old. We have been visiting the thrift shops around us…piecing together outfits and utilizing items we already have. My daughter has been a fan of the Sarah silk items since she was a little babe (now my toddler loves them too) and I am always a big fan of their small companies with their values and ethos.

My son is either dressing up as a puppy or a puffin, 2 of his favorite things! He can’t decide!

It’s my son’s first Halloween and I’ve been debating costumes since he was born. I’m thinking a homemade Mr. Potato head but a snail is a close second. Can’t wait until next year when he can really get into Halloween and decide what to be for himself!

My son will be dressing up as Bluey in the goodnight fruit bat episode, he will be wearing a Bluey costume and the bat wings and ear from Sarah silks!! He loves dressing up as a fruit bat all year round with his silks and this time we will incorporate a little more to make it extra special.

Right now our granddaughter is putting different large scarves on her head and walking around making wind and ghost sounds. When she wears the giant scarves she waves her arms to pretend she is the wind.
