Favorite color of playsilk?

I don't think my ds really cares too much about the colors at this point. We have the pack of 8 from http://www.atoygarden.com (Really good prices!), so he has a bunch to choose from. He generally seems to grab whichever is easiest to get. If she has a favorite color, I'd probably go with that. But you might want to get a particular color if there's a particular use you can see her putting it to. If she has little toy fish or is really interested in swimming, blue for water could be nice. Or, if she's goofy like ds, and might enjoy you balling it up and tossing it at her while calling out, "Snowball!", then white could be good. (Although we don't have a white one and just do the snowball thing with all of ours.)

DS doesn't have a favorite color yet, but he has a royal blue playsilk. I picked it out because I thought it was pretty, personally. It would also make a really pretty pond if he ever decides to play with it that way. Right now he only likes to drape it over his head.

boongirl- I would love a copy of your dyeing directions if you don't mind sharing. most the ones I've seen are for yarn and I don't want to screw them up! (I just ordered a bunch of silks from an MDC co-op- now I just need to shop for the kool-aid)

I got one from elliebelly that was called "thunderstorm" or something like that. It is shades of blue/grey/purple. It's really pretty. DD just uses it to hide under and sometimes she just carries it around. I don't think she cares too much about color at this point, but I like the color because it doesn't show dirt. I am curious how to wash them too because I have no clue.

Oh, I get it an open ended toy... I have two boys and we open ended toys for them- I was just wondering if they were associated with a game or something. Thanks for answering... sounds like fun and I checked out teh Thaisilks site and it is pretty cheap the tye dye sounds fun too!

we're partial to tie dye here! we got some really pretty ones from colorful~mama's store www.supersilks.com she does customs too!

beansmom, that silk sounds beautiful!!!

If you are dying a 36" playsilk with kool-aid, using the directions above, how many packets of koolaid do you use for one silk? I have no idea how much "1" weighs...

TIA!
