Play Silkies are a family-run business based in The Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia, whose motto is ‘less toys and more play’! When gifted a traditional silk from a sister school in China, teachers Kate and John found the non-traditional toy became a part of their family’s daily play, as their daughter loved the lightness and colours of the soft fabric. Eager to share the joy the simple toy brought their family, the Play Silkies business was created to provide beautiful, high quality toys that last for years and promote open-ended, imaginative play and family interaction.
