5.0 out of 5 stars Best Toys Ever, December 26, 2006

A Kid's Review

I am 12 years old. My 9 year old cousin got a Webkinz and showed it to my sister and I. I thought it was stupid at first. Then my sister bought the Yorkshire Terrier, and let me play it. I realized how much fun it was, and went back to the store the next day and bought the Golden Retriever. I made it a girl and named her Ginger. Now all my friends want them, too.

There are games you can play, and you can challenge your friends in the Tournament Arena. Build your Webkinz a house, and invite your friends and their Webkinz over. There is an employment office, were you can do jobs and earn money. One of the most recent additions is the Kinzpost, where you can send presents and letters to your friends. They are constantly releasing new Webkinz to buy in real life, along with virtual items and other things that you can buy in Webkinz world. The curio shop is where you can buy rare items and go gem hunting. You Webkinz can get sick, so be sure that you feed him lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise him, and put him to bed before logging out of Webkinz world. If your Webkinz does become sick, you should take him to the Clinic. Even if he isn't sick, you should take him there frequently for check-ups. Last but definitely not least, there is Quizzy's Question Corner. There, you choose your age group and then choose either math, language, science, health, the arts, or social studies. You will then be asked 50 questions, and rewarded kinzcash for each question.

I think that Webkinz are great for any age group, but particularly ages 5-14 years old. It combines computers with plush, thus making it one of the best things around that you can buy. I recommend it to everybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars my 11 year old loves it!, January 9, 2007

very simple product that any computer savy kid will enjoy. the adorable stuffed toy comes with a code which the child enters onto their own home computer. the child then becomes the official owner/caretaker of his/her pet and is responsible for every aspect of its happiness, food, water, exercise etc. my daughter races in from school to make sure that her pet is well cared for. i am really happy that she and her friends are clinging to the waning moments of childhood with this really neat toy.

I have two boys, 10 and 12. The younger one bought a webkinz first and after seeing how much fun he had at the website, the older one asked for one for his birthday. The website is very kid friendly. You won't have to worry about what they will see on this website. It is great fun, and even I play on it! I highly recommend this for any age child.
