20 Ways to Play with Silks
Play silks are perfect for encouraging hours of imaginative play time fun because they can be easily made into several different things from costumes to props! Babies might enjoy a game of peek a boo with a play silk, while preschoolers might love to use a silk in a pot to stir up some pretend soup. I love how play silks are so versatile, and that they can easily grow with your child! A big thank you to
