Sarah's Silks Playsilk - Purple Dinosaur

The Purple Dinosaur square is cut from 100% pure silk in a hefty 8 momme weight and finished with a limited edition dinosaur print in purple tones. The extra weight gives the silk a lovely drape and durability, so it stands up to daily costume play, den building, and energetic games.

Each square measures 35 by 35 inches. That is roomy enough to knot around a child as a cloak, string up between chairs as a canopy, or lay flat as a prehistoric scene for small figures. Despite the size it scrunches into a small bundle that tucks easily into a bag for trips.

There is no single right way to use it, which is the point. One day it is a swamp for plastic dinosaurs, the next a superhero cape or a hiding blanket. Children lead the story themselves, and that freedom builds imagination, confidence, and independence far better than a toy with one fixed function.

Silk is feather light and beautifully smooth, so it appeals to the senses and keeps young hands busy. It floats when thrown, gathers into a tiny ball, and transforms into anything a child pictures. That soft, tactile quality is why children return to their silks over and over throughout the years.

It works alongside wooden toys, dolls, animal figures, and building sets. Drape it as landscape, wrap it as a costume, or use it to carry a bundle of treasures from room to room. Because it has no set purpose it fits into almost any game your child already enjoys.

No, this dinosaur colourway is a limited edition, so it is produced in a special run rather than the standard everyday range. It makes a lovely pick for a dinosaur loving child and, once the print has inspired the scene, it plays just like every other classic square.
