The Sarah's Silks Wooden Chick and Egg are Easter toys that will be used long after the Easter basket is put away, sparking your child's imagination and inviting them to play creatively. The wood grains are naturally beautiful - no finish is used, plus they can double up as decor when not in use.
If the egg is difficult to open up at first put them in the fridge for a few minutes, then it will pop open. Or squeeze the top piece and twist the first time to loosen.

Sarah has been designing Playsilks and other natural, eco-friendly wooden and silk toys for 30 years! Drawing from the philosophies of Waldorf education and her own childhood of imaginative play.
Born in New York City, and raised in Belfast, Maine, Sarah's childhood instilled that imagination play is essential for the well being of children. "I have never seen two children play so much." Her Grandmother would say, as she and her sister anchored their souls in games and make believe. More than a way to fill time, play enhances and preserves life force, and Sarah learnt this from an early age.
The birth of her son Josh greatly defined the role Sarah is in today. As a creative mother she wanted to celebrate Josh’s spirit which involved wearing costumes and putting on performances. With a friend and neighbor Ann Platz, Sarah dyed her first silks in the kitchen sink. These silks were embraced by the local Waldorf community and before long, Sarah was combining the roles of motherhood, working as a doula and dying silks. “What do you call them?” Sarah McDonald of Magic Cabin asked, and Mike came up with the name, playsilks.
A fiber that is strong, fine and lustrous, silk will last when taken care of, but as a natural fiber, it will return effortlessly to the earth. Silk is imbued with folklore and stories, the spirit of silk is rich, made so by those that have been a part of the history. From the Chinese empress Leizu who guarded the secret of the silk worms, to the men, women and children, that travelled the silk road, one has a sense, of dedication, value, and importance from the fiber. It can be felt that it was this elemental integrity that drew Sarah to it herself.
