The year may be young, but Pinterest fans have been busy, busy, busy.

In December, Pinterest released the parenting trends it predicted were going to blow up big in 2016.

In addition to gender-neutral nurseries, Pinterest's predictions included no-sew bandana bibs, indoor games you can DIY, and teaching kids to code.

Of course, now that it is 2016, Pinterest can look at actual data instead of just making predictions, and today it announced the top parenting searches of the year so far.
