Pros

    Daughter does have fun with it.

Cons
    Way too many hard-sell messages

Webkinz.com — 

While the Webkinz site has some fun activities for children, it has more hard-sell messages than anything else.   Contest messages throughout the site telling kids about all of the wonderful things they can do if they just buy more Webkinz and/or Webinz accessories... everything from trading cards to lip gloss.

I like the webkinz site! The ads are there, yes but we just ignore them or save our money if she wants something. She also helps at her local animal shelter.

Aww, we love Webkinz here!!! The whole family gets in on the fun.
I know what you mean about the ads, though.
