Sarah's Silks Mini Streamer - Snowflake

The streamer sits on a sixteen inch birch wood wand topped with a decorative wooden bead, with a silk streamer that runs eight feet long and one inch wide. That generous length gives the silk plenty of room to flow and swirl as your child moves.

Children wave it in the wind, write letters and shapes in the air, pretend to fish with it and dance wherever it takes them. Because the play is open ended, there is no fixed way to use it, so children keep inventing new games around the flowing silk.

Yes, the long streamer moves much like dance ribbons, letting your child add rhythm and flow to their play as they move in time with music. Swinging the silk this way turns simple gestures into big, graceful arcs that fill the space around the child.

Moving with the streamer adds motion to play in a way that supports coordination, proprioception and gross motor skills. As children swing, twirl and chase the flowing silk, they practise controlling their whole body, which builds physical confidence while they are simply having a good time.

This streamer is not intended for children under three years old. Older children can safely hold the wooden wand and enjoy waving the long silk, and because the play stays open ended, the same streamer keeps its appeal for many years of active, imaginative use.

Open ended play lets children express their imagination and supports their independence, because they decide what the streamer becomes and how the game unfolds. With no set rules, one simple silk streamer can be a wave, a fishing line, a comet or anything a child dreams up.

The handle is a smooth birch wood wand, finished at the top with a decorative wooden bead that gives the streamer a tidy, weighted end. The natural wood feels warm and solid in the hand, which helps children keep a steady grip while the silk flows freely.
