Webkinz – What are they and why do my kids want them?

What are Webkinz?

Webkinz are stuffed animal toys that children enjoy playing with, but there is a bigger side to this. Webkinz comes with a code attached that, when entered online, allows the owner to adopt the virtual version of the pet. The game is somewhat similar to the Sims in that you build a living environment for your pet. There are great side games that will keep kids engaged for hours. The online environment is safe for all ages and even involves young children. Children ages 3-4 enjoy the Webkinz World experience. Webkinz World is the online environment in which children play. You can cook for your pet. Wash your pet. Enjoy games with him or her, etc…

Kids love Webkinz because they feel involved and in control of their pet. They really build a bond with the virtual pet.

Wekinz recently added another benefit to their environment: webkinz of the month – If you buy the Webkinz of the month and register it during its month you get extra special items online for your pet.

Now the next question is where can I get a Webkinz if I really need one. Webkinz are easy to find. Almost all flower shops carry them, as well as other stores such as toy stores and some mall stores. There are plenty of resource sites on the net to help with the learning process which is not that difficult.
