Socktivity
Every month Panda Pals sends us a "socktivity" along with a small extra item or 2. This month we received an educational sheet all about Honeybees. My aunt and uncle actually raise bees so we knew a lot of the trivia, but Charlie had a lot of fun completing the maze and coloring the picture. Not only did we receive the educational sheet, but we also were given a set of crayons and 5 cute bee stickers which, of course, Charlie wanted to use right away.

Charlie worked like a bee to complete his maze and then awarded himself a bee sticker for all of his effort.

Bee Socks
To pair perfectly with our bee theme, the first pair of socks we received were brightly printed with blue and green thread. A white and orange flower is printed on the toe with a large cartoon bee standing on top smiling. These bold socks are bound to make anyone smile, and Charlie was drawn to them right away. Like most pairs of socks from this sub, these displayed the "Panda Pals" logo across the toe, and fit his size 13 foot perfectly. Charlie placed these in the top row of his sock drawer to be sure he would find them easily for school on Monday.

Honeycomb Socks
Sticking with the bee theme, we received a coordinating pair of honeycomb socks. I was really excited to see the bright colors carry over to the second pair of socks, as it was such a hit with Charlie. These bright socks feature a multitude of hexagons in a honeycomb-type fashion. Also including the "Panda Pals" logo, these have a bright green toe and heel, with a contrasting black cuff. Charlie preferred these to the bee socks as they have been learning about hexagons in kindergarten, so once he put these on to model, they did not come off -- he actually proclaimed them his new favorites!
Verdict: Panda Pals was definitely a hit this month. Charlie loves animals, and because we know quite a bit about bees and honey, he felt these socks were made just for him. The bright colors and bold patterns were really exciting this month, and like I said above, Charlie wouldn't even take the second pair off. Both pairs fit very well and had ample stretch, fitting even my 8-year-old's foot. These socks add excitement to my kids' sock drawer, are comfy, wash well, and are easy to match -- I don't think it gets much better! I can't wait to see what theme they send 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 via USPS within 3-5 days of account activation and will be sent around the same time each month.
Value Breakdown: At $16 a month, you are paying $8 per pair of socks ($5.33 this month because of the bonus pair), which is a little higher priced than other socks, but you are also helping people in need by purchasing!
