Top 5 Reasons to Buy Webkinz

Webkinz are pretty popular toys right now, and for good reason! Below you'll find the top 5 reasons why they make perfect gifts for kids of all ages.

1. Entertainment
The obvious reason any parent buys any toys. There's so much to do on this site it will keep kids entertained for quite awhile. Plus with the hourly events they can do something different every time they log on.

2. Safe Social Environment
Kids need friends, but some aren't always the best influence. With Webkinz you are in a safe chat environment where they can interact only with pre-writen phrases and questions. My son especially gets excited when he can add a new friend to his list and do things with him. We don't worry about something being said that he shouldn't see, since you can't type in anything that's not pre-approved.

3. Independence
Webkinz is a pretty easy site to navigate, even for young ones. Even kids who can't read yet can still get around pretty well. My daughter knows how to do just about everything on the site, and text is spoken out loud for the most part so she catches instructions.

4. Learning with Quiz Questions
One of the best aspects of this site is the ability to earn the most tokens by doing quiz questions. They have questions for just about every subject you can think of, sectioned by age. It encourages kids to think fast, and get more details on the answer before moving on to the next question.

5. Responsibility & Real Life Tasks
Webkinz is also great about teaching responsibility, since there are many things that need to be taken care of every day. Their garden, for example, needs to be watered every day. Some days they need to rake weeds as well to make sure their crops grow. If they don't, the plants die, and they have to start over. But if they make sure they take care of them every day, they get to harvest the crops and feed their pet farm fresh food (which the pets absolutely love!).

Kids are also given the responsibility of taking care of their pet when they are logged on, and getting rewards for clicking on the "Daily Kinz Care". Other things can only be done once a day as well, encouraging them to be responsible with their pets and earn prizes. Also with hard work they can earn "KinzCash" to buy neat things for their room and extra games to play.

Because the prices of Webkinz are so cheap, these make wonderful gifts for kids of all ages. Parents will love them as well, and enjoy watching kids take care of their pets daily. They come highly recommended by anyone who has had the chance to see them first hand!
