Webkinz!


Webkinz! All the rage this summer. What are they? Glorified beanie babies with a high tech passport. Arielle's best friend's mom bought her a Webkinz and she has loved playing with it ever since. She even saved up her own money to buy a 2nd Webkinz. Now she's a proud owner of a cocker spaniel and a Terrier. She can get online and play lots of fun games and design a home for her pet. She can even "buy" her pet clothes and accessories. She gains these items by winning games & quizzes. You can even play online against friends who also have Webkinz accounts. As a Mom, what I like about it? #1, Its a safe place for her to play online. #2 She can play live with her best friend who lives 5 hrs away! #3 The "quizzes" that help the kids buy embelishments for their Webkinz are actually educational (like math & health quizzes). Arielle could spend all day playing with her Webkinz. She really won't like it in 10 days when school starts and we're back on a strict "computer time limiting" schedule!
