Sarah's Silks Skytails (Shooting Star)

You throw it by the tail, catch it and spin it however you like. The star shaped ball flies easily and bounces along the ground a few times, giving extra chances to catch it. It suits solo practice, backyard games and gentle indoor tossing between two players.

It is a star shaped ball of soft batting wrapped in silk, finished with a flowing starry night sky silk tail. The maker calls it bonkless because the soft build means it does not hurt when it lands on you during a game.

Yes, when you swing or spin the ball the silk tail trails and swirls much like dance ribbons, adding a graceful arc of movement to every throw. That flowing motion makes the toy fun to watch and encourages big, active gestures during play.

No, the ball is deliberately soft. It is made from light batting covered in silk, so it stays gentle on contact and does not sting or bruise. That softness makes it well suited to lively indoor and outdoor games with several children at once.

Because it contains a small ball, this toy is a choking hazard and is not intended for children under three years old. Older children can throw, catch and spin it freely, and adults may want to supervise younger siblings who join the game.

Yes, each skytail arrives packed in its own silk bag, which keeps the ball and tail together and makes it easy to tuck away after play. The little bag also makes the toy simple to carry to the park or a friend's house.

Hand wash the silk with mild shampoo or dish soap in warm water, then hang it to dry. Once it is dry you can iron the silk tail on a medium setting to restore its shine and smooth out any creases from play.
