Rowan Tree Silkies & Fairy Silkies™ are 100% silk with hand rolled hems. Dyed with food grade, non-toxic dyes.
Our playsilks are hand dyed ~ this results in rich hued, one of a kind toys ~ variations in colour, shading and coverage are normal and part of the beauty of the
silkies.
Not sure what to do with a silkie? Give one to a child, and let them will show you!
One of our favourite moments is when we give a playsilk to a child who has never played with one before. Their eyes light up and the wheels start turning and within moments they are deep in play. Fabulous for play therapy and kids with disabilities, too!
Silk is as versatile as it is lovely. We offer a variety of sizes and formats.

Rowan Tree Silkies- a wonderful blanket for tummy or nap time; a peek-a-boo cover, a soft lovey to clutch and cuddle, a river flowing over their skin, a fluttering butterfly hanging in the breeze.... For toddlers they become wading pools and superhero capes, fairy wings, dog leashes, dresses, tents, doll slings and bedding, accessories for dancing, nests for napping... and older children enjoy them for all these uses and much more as their imaginations grow to see the world of possibilities in a simple toy.
Fairy Silkies™- perfect for church or temple, waiting rooms and car rides, small enough to carry in a purse or diaper bag, but big, big fun!
They are wonderful for infants and toddlers, fairy blankets, dolly diapers, matching colors, counting...
Canopy- silks are a delight! Use them for tents or playstand
canopies or even as a beach sarong for mom!
Twirligig™- Hand dyed silk streamer(s) flow from a coordinating hand painted wooden wand. Long enough for maximum fun (11 x 60", with the option to add more streamers) but wide enough to be safe and prevent tangling and knotting. Securely attached to move freely on the wand for added flexibility and safety..
Silkie Care: Handwash with a bit of dish soap and hang to dry.
Prolonged sun exposure may dull the colours and damage the silk.
Wash individually: colours are set to last, but there may be some bleeding in the first few washes.
To prolong the life of your silkies, wash only as needed. Do not wring when
wet... silk is one of the world's strongest fibers when dry, but weak when wet.
