Lion and Lamb Themed Items for Kids

According to an English proverb, March “comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” – meaning that fiercely cold days give way to a softer spring season. Here’s hoping! But if Michigan’s mercurial weather fails us, we can soothe our spring-craving souls with this sweet lion and lamb loot.

Make the most of Michigan’s rollercoaster of fluctuating weather by checking out Metro Parent’s round up of nifty lion- and lamb-themed products! All of the listed merchandise is updated as of March 2013. To be safe, however, we recommend that you check with the shops to see if products are still available.
