Mini Around The Year On The Farm Playsilk

$11.00 $16.00 (31% off)

We are so excited to share this limited edition collaboration between Sarah's Silks and illustrator Stephanie Green of Wilded Family.

Around the Year on the Farm Mini Playsilks are 21" x 21", made from heavyweight, 100% pure mulberry silk. 

Celebrate the seasonal changes on Earth as we travel around the sun! Children and adults will delight in the spring flowers and seed planting,  summer bees, farmhouse and chickens, autumn harvest and cozy winter feeding the animals and playing in snow. 

This limited edition celebration Playsilk comes in three sizes - Mini for small world play, Playsilks to build a farm with tables and chairs, and Large (New size!) for hanging on classroom and playroom walls and building play.

Playsilks are inspiring, magical toys that children will be drawn to play with time and time again. The simplicity and open-ended nature of Playsilks tap directly into the child’s creative potential.

  • Open-ended play with Playsilks allows children to express their imagination and support their independence.
  • Nourishing the senses with Playsilks gives the child an amazing tactile experience.
  • Growing with the child sets our Playsilks apart from any other toy, allowing for a limitless range of play possibilities, and years of lasting play value.

Playsilks are made from 100% pure mulberry silk - painted and dyed by hand. They are light weight and airy, providing a wonderful sensory experience while also being easy for children to play and 'work' with.
