Panda Pals May 2019 Review
This month’s included socktivity is raining cats and dogs! The enclosed sheet includes a coloring page, information about the water cycle, and grammar facts! It was a little advanced for my 4-year-old, but he definitely enjoyed coloring the pictures!
Also included were these sweet foam weather stickers! We received a cloud, a raindrop, a snowflake, and a sun! Charlie loved adding these to his coloring page! We especially liked that they had such cute smiley faces!
Here is Charlie coloring his picture and using his new stickers!
Umbrella Socks
The first pair of socks this month was this blue, purple and yellow pair with raindrops and umbrellas. They feature the “Panda Pals” logo on the top of the toe in black print. While they are a cute pair of socks, my son was not especially impressed - he said they looked too much like girl socks. They fit great but will be passed on to our neighbor girl who will appreciate them more than my boys did.
Puppy Umbrella Sock
Now, these socks are right up my son’s alley! The blue and yellow socks have a sweet little puppy holding an umbrella on them. They also have a black ‘Panda Pals” logo on the toe. These socks stretch to fit and look great. Charlie wanted to wear these right away!
Verdict: Panda Pals is a great subscription, but this month was a bit of a letdown. In the past 4 months, my kids have loved every single pair of socks we received, but this month they were really bummed about one pair of socks. I explained that not everyone has the same taste and that we can’t expect to like every pair. These socks are of amazing quality, and they fit great. They did love the puppy socks, so that was a win, plus we have a little gift to give a neighbor! We can’t wait to see what will come next month!
To Wrap Up:
Can I still get this box if I sign up today? Each package is customized by size and gender, so yours might look different! If you order today, your socks will be sent USPS within 3-5 days of account activation and will be sent around the same time each month.
Value Breakdown: At $16 a month, plus $1 shipping, you are paying $17 for 2 pairs of socks and the included socktivity. That breaks down to $8.50 a pair, which is a little higher priced than other socks, but you are also helping people in need by purchasing!
