    My family and I were introduce to Webkinz about a month ago.  My mother called me when she was at worked and asked if I had ever heard of Webkinz.  I really didn't know much about them, but I had heard the name before.  She told me about one of the newest and greatest crazes.  She told me about them because she thought my oldest daughter would enjoy them.  She bought an elephant for my daughter because she thought it would be a lot of fun for her to enjoy.

     What I didn't know is that it was going to be such an experience really for the whole family, with so many different things to do online.  It's not just a stuffed animal anymore.  Each Webkinz you buy includes a unique code in the tag which will get you onto their website.  Once you adopt your animal online you unlock a whole new world.

    There are so many educational things you can do on the Webkinz website.  First of all, you can do quizzes to earn you Webkinz money.  This is virtual money that can be spent to feed your virtual animal, as well as you can furnish their home and buy them clothing.  All of the quizzes are in different age ranges and categories so you can be assured that they will be learning appropriate information.

     You can also play many games online for virtual Webkinz dollars.  These are a lot of fun, really easy, as well as you can compete against others.  I highly recommend that you check out the Webkinz website, it is so much fun for the whole family.

OMG! I have a Webkinz stuffed dog that I was given as a gift when I was sick and never knew about the website. I never even looked at the tag. My kids will love this! Thank you so much for taking the time to review this!
