Panda Pals April 2019 Review
Before we begin, we received a note from Jonathan Howard, the Owner - Chief Panda Officer stating that this month an entire sock shipment was lost in transit, so some packages may be delayed. He was very apologetic and assured this will never happen again.
This month’s socktivity is all about Zebras! We received this cute Zebra coloring sheet with all kind of fun facts about this black and white striped animal. The other side of the coloring sheet features a fun matching game. There are 7 different types of tracks and you have to match which animal they belong to! Charlie had a blast with this and got them all right on his own!
And here we have some fun animal stickers! We received an elephant, tiger, monkey, and lion. While this was a bit of a let down after last months stackable crayon, we still enjoy the thought they put into this!
Here is Charlie working on his animal track matching game.
Zebra Socks
How cute are these zebra socks?! These are the first socks I took out of the bag and my boys are obsessed with them! The socks are white with black stripes, heel, and toe. They also have a zebra face (with big blue eyes) printed on the upper part of the sock with extra black fabric as the “tuft” of hair on the zebra's forehead. The “Panda Pals” logo is printed on the top of the feet in black. Hank and Charlie both loved these socks, and they were fighting over who gets to wear them first. In this photo, Hank is modeling them. He wears a size 13-1 shoe and the sock fits perfectly.
Shoe Sock
The next pair of socks are super fun too! These socks look like black, tan, blue, and white sneakers! They also feature the “Panda Pals” logo on the toe and make it look like you are wearing shoes instead of just socks! My boys got a kick out of these and can’t wait to show them off at school. Charlie modeled these socks, and he wears a size 11 shoe.
Verdict: I just have to say I adore this subscription! Panda Pals does such a great job curating their bags and sending socks that really appeal to young children. This month had my boys fighting over socks!!! The socks themselves are not only adorable, but they are of high quality. We have washed our previous month socks so many times (they are the only socks Charlie will wear) and they still look brand new. While these aren’t a heavyweight sock, they are perfect for playtime and running around in, and of course, the fun patterns are always a conversation piece! The “socktivities” are also a fun addition. We can’t wait to see what comes next month!

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 $15 a month, plus $1 shipping, you are paying $16 for 2 pairs of socks and the included socktivity. That breaks down to $8 a pair, which is a little higher priced than other socks, but you are also helping people in need by purchasing!
