Sarah's Silks Mini Playsilks Heart

The Mini Playsilks are made from 100% real silk and silk-screened by hand, then dyed with non-toxic, eco-friendly dyes. The natural fiber is light and smooth with a soft sheen. Because the print is applied by hand, small differences between pieces are normal and add to the handmade character of each silk.

Each Mini Playsilk measures about 54cm by 54cm, roughly 21 by 21 inches. This smaller square is sized for younger children, making it easier to gather, knot, and carry. The compact size suits small dress-ups, doll play, and use as a prop in a pretend play scene.

These play silks work as small capes, skirts, and doll wraps, and as colourful props in a play scene. Children also use them for peekaboo, gentle waving, and sorting by colour. Because the silk has no single fixed use, it adapts to whatever a child invents that day and stays interesting over time.

The Mini Playsilk comes in Pink, Blue, and Orange, three bright, cheerful tones that are easy for a young child to tell apart. The clear colours suit colour play and simple sorting, and they mix well with other silks if you build up a small collection at home.

Hand-wash each silk with a mild shampoo or dish soap in warm water, then hang it to dry. Iron on a medium setting to restore the shine if it looks creased. Gentle washing protects the hand-applied print and keeps the colours vivid through everyday play.

Yes. The reduced size is easier for a younger child to hold and manage than a full-size silk, which is why it works well for early dress-up and doll play. The light weight means the fabric drapes softly and moves easily, encouraging a child to fold, wave, and drape it in their own way.
