Green Halloween
"You were once a yellow pumpkin
sitting on a sturdy vine,
Now you are a Jack-o'-lantern,
let your little light shine."
Here at Sarah's Silks we love celebrating festivals! Halloween is a fun one that can be spent doing activities all month that are out in nature and nurturing for young children.
Wonderful ideas for a green, earth-friendly Halloween include pumpkin patch visits, followed by pumpkin carving and baking and eating pumpkin treats. Long walks gathering fall leaves and acorns. Baking bread, making candles, sitting by the fire, and of course, dressing up!
Playsilks are one of the best, most creative tools for making your own costume. We've seen children use them to become ghosts, witches, genies, flying machines, almost anything you can imagine can be created (with a bit of added magic) with a special colored Playsilk.
Adding Face Paint makes even more characters possible - think tiger stripes on cheeks paired with a tiger Playsilk.
Trick-or-treat baskets are another great earth-friendly way to stay away from plastics. Baskets are beautiful and will be used over and over in many ways.

We love fall. Playing outside, planning costumes and picking pumpkins.

I love going to the local orchard and picking apples every yeat with my kids. It’s my favorite time—these shifting seasons, stamped in time for them to remember, as I did when I was a kid. 🍁

My 5 year old really wants to be Buzz Lightyear, so the rest of us got into it too – my older son will be Woody, I’ll be Jessie, and my husband is going to be Andy 😊

My girls keep going back and forth between mermaids and fairies but my 10 month old boy is going to be a dragon!!

My 4 Year Old Wants To Be A Construction Worker this year. We are still unsure what my younger baby will be dressed as 😅.. maybe a cute pumpkin?

What great ideas! My boys were all pumpkins for their first Halloween. Waiting to see what their imaginations decide on for this year…

We don’t trick or treat, so I appreciate these other great ideas to mark Autumn throughout the month. We recently used our playsilks to lake costumes for a town parade. We had a green dragon, a golden cat and a woodland elf princess! The playsilks are very versatile and much more comfortable than plastic costumes!

My littles would love the wooden animals. We have a couple playsilks they already play with daily, but I’m excited to try to get the animals.

We have been making our kids costumes from the beginning and these animal print silks are the best!!

I love this. We haven’t chosen Halloween costumes yet, so this may be a perfect addition to our costumes!

I am a special education teacher, a storyteller and a mom who uses the many beautiful silks we’ve bought from you as sensory supports for all of my inclusive events and classes, and they are still my kids’ favorite costumes to wear. We use them for everything—to change the colours of lamps, to create an ocean or an outer space play area, and we have beautiful one covered in fairies that comes out for special family traditions. Thank you for your beautiful artwork for children 💖
