Around the Year Playsilk – A Montessori & Waldorf Birthday Tradition
The Around the Year Playsilk is one of the most cherished Montessori birthday materials — a beautiful, symbolic way to celebrate a child’s journey around the sun. In many Montessori and Waldorf classrooms, children walk the months of the year in a circular path on their birthday, honoring their growth and the natural rhythms of the Earth. This Playsilk brings that tradition to life at home, offering a gentle, meaningful way to mark each passing year.
Designed with seasonal colors and imagery, the Around the Year Playsilk helps children recognize the changing seasons and connect with nature’s cycles. Families use it for birthday celebrations, nature tables, seasonal displays, and mindful rituals that anchor children in time and tradition.
Lightweight, sustainable, and beautifully made from pure mulberry silk, it’s a thoughtful birthday gift and a timeless tool for rhythm and routine in Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired homes.

Sizing tip: We often use European sizing along with US sizing to help guide you to the right fit. In many cases, if you know your child's height, this actually can help guide you better than age. We did the work for you so you do not have to convert- use this chart to find their height. Outerwear is made to layer over clothes- getting this right should be all the work you need to do. When looking at boots, use current tennis shoe sizing. Boot sizes are in T (Toddler) and Y (Youth)- not by age.
