Wooden May day ring – Sarah’s Silks

The Sarah’s Silks wooden May day ring offers a simple and beautiful May day option for at school and at home! To celebrate this special day, playsilks can be tied through the ring holes. The ring can be hung from a tree branch or used as a maypole: children can hold on to the ends of the playsilks and dance, sing and skip in a circle.

A very important day in Waldorf education, May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on 1 May, around halfway between the Northern Hemisphere’s Spring equinox and June solstice. (source)

The ring features 8 softly sanded holes of approximately a 1.3cm diameter. It measures 42 x 0.6cm and is thoughtfully made in California, USA from red Oak MDF safe for children.

The beautiful Sarah’s Silks playsilks, cotton play cloths, capes, fairy dresses, veils, wings, crowns, skirts, dresses, swords, shields, skytails and streamers are perfect for open-ended play, dress-up and dramatic play in Waldorf homes, childcare settings and Steiner schools.

All of Sarah’s Silks silk dress up costumes, silk toys, wooden toys and playsilks are made from high quality sustainable Chinese silk. Each silk product is woven, dyed and hand hemmed by seamstresses working from their home in a small village near Suzhou, China. They are then hand painted and hand finished at the Sarah’s Silks headquarters in Sonoma County, California, USA.

The Sarah’s Silks playsilks are also perfect for wrapping gifts, providing a lovely backdrop for nature and seasonal tables as decoration for birthday parties or applied in rhythmic classes.

Children love the vibrant, beautifully blended colours and soft, tactile feel of the playsilks, cotton play cloths and silk garments.
