The theme for this month’s box looks to be the sea and stars! The activity fold-out goes along with them on both sides. The sea side is an adorable picture of a sea star, Abel, that you can color. The page also features a cute story about Abel and educational information about sea stars. Your little one will surely love coloring and learning about the sea!
Flip your activity fold-out over for a ‘draw a star socktivity!’ This page allows you to draw and learn about the different types of stars that we see in the sky. I love these activity pages because it is an interactive way for your child to learn and play based on the boxes theme for the month!
The box also came with a Crayola Twistable crayon, perfect to use on the activity fold-out, and a silver star sticker set. My son loves coloring so the Twistable is perfect to have on hand, and the star sticker is perfect for your kiddo to put on their activity page or on their new back-to-school notebook!
The first pair of socks for the month are none other than stars! The blue and orange colors are perfect for a girl or boy, and I love the bold print with the multiple star placements. The fabric is very soft and you can tell that these will stand up through all of your little one’s daily activities and the washing machine!
The second pair of socks for this month is none other than the image we saw in our activity fold-out. It is Abel the sea star! I love the colors in this pair, and your little one could match the socks to the picture that they color on the activity page! This pair is so cute, perfect for a girl or boy, and really brings the whole theme for the month together.
Verdict: We go through socks very quickly in my house, and I have a husband who loves a bold printed sock for himself and our son. So Panda Pals is a fun way to make sock shopping and learning fun! The monthly theme is a great surprise, and I can see how exciting opening this package each month for a little one could be! I do think the $15 cost per month is a little high considering the add-on items are little. However, I think this would be a great gift or surprise for your own kiddo, and it is something that you can all enjoy together. Plus, Panda Pals will donate a pair of socks to someone in need for every box order they receive, who doesn’t love that!
