Sarah's Silks Zebra Playsilk

Children can tie the silk under the arms for a simple zebra skirt or drape it over the shoulders as a cape. Both wraps come together in seconds, so a child can switch looks and start galloping right away.

It is a 35 by 35 inch square made from extra sturdy, heavyweight, one hundred percent pure mulberry silk. The large size gives kids enough fabric to wrap the body and still have silk to swirl and flow.

Yes, it is made from extra sturdy heavyweight silk built to handle plenty of movement. Kids can gallop, tie, and re tie it through energetic play, and the fabric holds its shape and shine over time.

Not at all. It works as a costume long after Halloween is over, and children return to it throughout their childhood. The open-ended design means it keeps finding new roles well beyond a single dress up night.

Tied under the arms it becomes a zebra skirt for running and dancing, while draped over the shoulders it reads as a flowing cape. Children pick whichever suits the game and swap between the two whenever they like.

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