Playsilk - Starry Night
Long before your child turns a cardboard box into a spaceship or a blanket into a castle, imaginative play begins with simple, open-ended materials. The Starry Night Playsilk is one of those rare toys that grows alongside your child, transforming from a sensory experience for babies into a creative play essential for years to come.
Soft, lightweight, and beautifully dyed, this playsilk invites exploration through touch, movement, and discovery. Babies love watching it float through the air, playing peek-a-boo, pulling it from a basket, or feeling the silky texture between their fingers. Along the way, they're building coordination, visual tracking, body awareness, and sensory processing skills through play.
As your child grows, the possibilities multiply. One day, it's a superhero cape. The next, it's a doll blanket, pirate flag, picnic cloth, dance scarf, fort decoration, or magical forest canopy. Because there are no rules or prescribed ways to play, the silk naturally encourages imagination, storytelling, creativity, and independent thinking.
Unlike toys that entertain for a season and then disappear into a closet, playsilks remain relevant through multiple stages of childhood. Their simplicity is exactly what makes them so versatile.
The lightweight fabric folds into a diaper bag, backpack, or travel tote with ease, making it an ideal companion for quiet play at home, on the road, or wherever creativity strikes.
Beautiful, durable, and endlessly adaptable, the Starry Night Playsilk proves that sometimes the simplest toys inspire the richest play.

So Sweet for Baby Play
Vanessa H.
Such a sweet toy for playing with a little baby and exploring feelings and engaging the senses. It continues to grow with kiddos and is still being played with many years later. It has been a cape, a bag, a blanket, wrapping paper, etc.

Beautiful Play silk
Allison D.
This is a nice size for a small child, is fun and safe to gnaw on and to play peekaboo under. Also makes a great cape. And it’s real silk and not a synthetic material which is nice.

Imagination

This silk scarf is very soft, it can be used for, well anything! Capes, blindfolds, magic clouds falling from the sky, a door to a fort, the list goes on. While we love ours I will say that I think it is a little pricey for a scarf but it can grow with your child.

Fell apart
S R.
Fell apart, Became frayed and almost unsafe to play with quickly. This was the smaller silk. Very limited value. Would not buy another.

More fun than I expected!
Allison D.
I got this with some points we had earned, and would not have spent the $ on it otherwise because I thought it may not be that much fun or get used for long, but I was wrong! This has been very popular with my baby boy and his 9 year old big sister, and will continue to be used for many years I imagine. I now want to get a bigger one from this same brand. Oh, and it’s way more durable than I thought real silk would be. Holding up well to playing/chewing/tying, etc (abuse!) 😅

Expensive but good quality
Dorothy W.
I have a different color of Sarah's Play Silk, but the sentiment is the same. The price makes me wince a bit but the quality is spot on, it doesn't fray or break even after trips in the washing machine and being beaten up by my curious young son. He loves the colors and watching the silk dance about. The silk is, well, silky smooth and good for sensory play. I really don't like how expensive it is but I remember playing dress up and make believe with play clothes and silks for hours and this cloth will definitely last for a few years as my son grows up.

Sarah's Silks Playsilk - Starry Night
Kay B.
When I purchased our Sarah's Silks Playsilks, I remember thinking how expensive they were (we wanted a few color options and they add up) and almost not going through with it. But the truth is, these things get used every day and are worth it. They are superhero capes and princess gowns and villian hoods. They are backdrops for storytelling with toys, a blanket for a babydoll, or the tablecloth of a pretend picnic or tea party. And my littlest also just snuggles with them at naptime. These are crazy soft and luxurious and everyone loves them. They did spark a discussion and some research into how silk is made, and that wasn't as great. But I can't say a single thing negative about how great playsilks are for open-ended play! Even across age gaps, I recommend having some. My 3 year old, 6 year old and even my 9 year old still play with these.

Most Expensive Piece of Cloth I Own
Michelle
I want my kids to have the best right?? So I spent $20 on a piece of silk. Everything everyone says is true... it's a great piece of silk. But really all I've used it for is a summertime lovey in the car seat - a cotton swaddle could have done the trick but I preferred how nice and compact this was in my diaper bag. So, yes, we've used it, but for imaginative play, not so much. When we're in the mode of imagination we use whatever blanket is nearest to us, and don't think to go grab this one. If I could go back and customize my infant kit differently I would definitely have spent that $20 on something far more useful.

Sarah's Silks Playsilk - Starry Night
Elizabeth M.
I bought a bag of cheap gauze "playsilks" and thought we didn't need any others. This came with the toddler kit, and the quality is just so much better. It is SO soft and just much more enjoyable to touch. It was instantly turned into a super hero cape by my four year old. I really love it as an addition to our toy collection.
