4.0 out of 5 stars my daughters idea, June 29, 2006

This review is from: Webkinz Hippo (Toy)

My 10 year old daughter had learned of these from a friend and wanted to have one. She purchased it with her own money and has had hours of fun with it. Now her and the friend send each other postcards to keep in touch since they only see each other a couple of times a month. It is a great way for her to stay in touch with friends. I dont have a clue how to rate the quality of the game. I know that from watching her she seems to find tons of activities to keep her interest. Then since she has the actual animal in her room she can remember she has the one on the computer to play with too.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Webkinz Hippo (Toy)

I recently bought this hippo to see what the whole Webkinz craze is about. I can finally say I understand why people spend hundreds of dollars on these stuffed animal collections. They are absolutely wonderful. This hippo is adorable, soft, and with the internet capabilities, it makes this purchase one of the best ones I have made. The internet aspect teaches kids about money, when to spend, when to save, and how important it is. It's a great way to teach the lesson that money doesn't grow on trees. These Webkinz toys are simply amazing and innovative that I am sure that I will buy another one in the next couple of months. You owe it to yourself to get a cute little companion for you or your kids. Love them!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Webkinz Hippo (Toy)

Webkinz is an online experience where your plush pet can come to life. My mother have learned about Webkinz from one of her best friends. I own a Webkinz hippo named Susie who is very kind-hearted and fun. My little sister owns a Webkinz unicorn named Rainbow. There are numerous things to do in Webkinz World. You can take your pet to the doctor,the shop,the post office,to play games in the Arcade,test to challenge themselves & make new friends in the Tournament Arena,or go to the Employment Office to get a job such as,the doctor's assistant or fence painting,remember,you can only get one job every 8 hours. You can chat with the friends you made using KinzChat,you could decorate your room by using the things you have either earned or got at the shop,you could even get some exercise,make a movie,give your pet a bath,put your pet to sleep,cook for your pet,or even search for gems. In Webkinz Newz they will tell you all the new stuff happening to Webkinz & Webkinz World,make sure you check the news everyday because there are always some changes every single day.You could take your pet to Quizzy's Question Corner and answer Questions to get KinzCash (type of money they use in Webkinz World). The characters are very friendly with you so don't worry about anybody being rude or nasty. That's that about Webkinz. One last thing,you have to visit Webkinz World everyday. If you don't visit everyday your pet will become sad.
