$8.00 $16.00 (50% off)

We are so excited to share this limited edition collaboration between Sarah's Silks and Phoebe Wahl! 

Mini Circus Playsilks are 21" x 21", made from heavyweight, 100% pure mulberry silk. 

This limited edition celebration Playsilk comes in three sizes - Mini for small world play, Playsilks for puppet theater backdrops, and Large for hanging on classroom and playroom walls and make believe play.

The Mini Size is perfect for small world play with animal figurines or dolls! Little ones can also use it as a back drop for puppet shows.

    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.
