Sarah's Silks Tiger Playsilk

Children drape the silk as a cape or tie it around the body to become a fierce tiger. Because it is open-ended, they can adjust the wrap and combine it with other pieces to build the exact look they imagine.

The Tiger Playsilk is a 35 by 35 inch square made from extra sturdy, heavyweight, one hundred percent pure mulberry silk. The larger size gives kids plenty of fabric to wrap, tie, and swirl during active dress up.

It blends rich hues of orange, gold, and black that read instantly as a tiger. The hand dyed colours flow into one another, so each silk has its own slightly different pattern across the square.

Not at all. It works as a costume long after Halloween is over, and children return to it again and again through the years. One day it is a tiger, the next it becomes a river, cape, or fort roof.

It pairs beautifully with the Tiger Ears and Tiger Tutu to complete the look. Together they let a child build a full tiger outfit, then mix the pieces into new characters whenever the story changes.

Because it is open-ended, the same square turns into a picnic blanket, a superhero cape, a flowing river, or a den roof. Children lead the play, so the silk keeps finding new roles as their imagination shifts.
