Buzzy Grow Kit for Spring

I picked up this panda Buzzy Grow Kit at Target for Parker while we were shopping for non-candy Easter basket goodies. It's been fun watching the grass grow and "trimming" the panda's hair everyday. The grass grows very fast but it's definitely not as thick as the pictures in the Buzzy ads. Yesterday, Parker touched the grass and said, "Feels nice." We love our little panda friend and it's a great way to get Parker excited about gardening and to celebrate spring. This also satisfies my childhood obsession with chia pets.

Pandas Have Taken Over Kids F/W 2014

It's official. Pandas are going to be for fall/winter 2014 what pineapples were for this past summer. They are everywhere! I've spotted pandas on shirts, pajamas, as skeletons for Halloween, on socks, backpacks, water bottles and lunch gear. The trend can be found in brands ranging from Kid + Kind and Mini Rodini to Old Navy and Skip Hop. I happen to love the graphic look of the cuddly bear's black and white markings. Do you like the panda trend?
