The Ultimate Review of Webkinz

The Sewing Mom
You might have heard of the company Ganz, which includes the Tubbie Tummy Teddy Bears and other cute stuffed animals. Well, Ganz is making something new and different, Webkinz. Starting small, the world was clueless about these furry creatures. However, as more people bought them, the word spread and thus, we are now in the middle of a Webkinz craze!

Mind you, these are not just any plush animal, these pets can be loved and cared for online! Webkinz owners can create a virtual house for them, feed them, exercise them, dress them, and play with them, all from the comfort of their computer. In addition there are many fun games on the Webkinz website. My daughter has a blast on the site playing games including pool, Farming Frenzy, and an online trading card game. Webkinz has also begun selling trading cards, charms, bookmarks, mouse pads, lip gloss, and fragrance spray in stores.

How do you get registered at the Webkinz website in the first place? Well, each Webkinz pet and every other Webkinz product comes with a secret code on the tag. Buyers enter the code online at the Webkinz adoption center at Webkinz.com. Then, for example, if you bought a Chocolate Lab Webkinz at the store, register the code online and you get an animated Chocolate Lab Webkinz at Webkinz.com. Upon registering each pet, you get 2,000 Kinz Cash, three exclusive items, and a free room at Webkinz.com. When a member registers their tenth Webkinz pet, they get a rare exclusive item for the pet!

After registering, new members get 2,000 virtual Webkinz dollars, or as they call it, Kinz Cash. Members can start buying furniture for the virtual pet's house with the Kinz cash. Why not dress them up? Use Kinz Cash to buy some cute outfits for your virtual Webkinz too! With recipes and food, members can cook up some fun meals on a virtual stove, blender, and sandwich maker. When members need more money they can simply play some games at the Clubhouse. The Clubhouse has fun games that kids can play while showing off their pet. Safely talk to other Webkinz users in the Clubhouse room while playing the games, or just chat. Invite your friends too! With Kinz Chat Interactive, members can play games with each other in and out of the Clubhouse. Members can even send each other Kinz Mail! It's even more fun with a friend!

Consumers can collect unlimited Webkinz pets but at about $15.00 for a Webkinz and about $10.00 for a Lil' Kinz, be sure to pick your favorite ones first! Every day Webkinz has daily activities you don't want to miss out on! Webkinz.com also update members on all the latest Webkinz news like the new pets being released. With this Webkinz craze going on, this is surely a stuffed animal you don't want to miss out on!

    For all the tips and ins and outs of Webkinz World, check out Webkinzmom.com! I have information for both kids and parents, and am interested in what parents are interested in and concerned about with their kids online experiences.
