In love with Webkinz, October 10, 2008

I wanted a "pet" at work as I live there more hours per day than at home. I love Hubert. He is so sweet and I can take a much needed break to care for him online. Very fun and sweet.

My daughter is 9. She loved this elephant. There are 2 different
elephants , this one does not have the stringy hair. This
elephant is the nice plush one.
Webkinz are great, May 29, 2008

This elephant is going to be June's Pet of the Month, which gets you extra prizes when you adopt it online. I've just received my Amazon order of 3 Webkinz, with codes intact, so I'm sure they're fine. Although our local store that sells Webkinz usually has Pet of the Month cheaper, and with free trading cards.
My 6 year old twins love doing the online games, and I am very pleased with the educational value of the Quizzy's Corner question series. It has a multitude of topics, organized by age. They are also learning a bit of math as they shop, winning virtual cash and spending it.
I enjoy the games as well, and no longer have the urge to purchase a gaming system. This online arcade meets our entertainment needs, without any additional hardware required. Plus, the toy animals are cute, and get played with too.

Cute little guy. Teaches my 6 year old some responsibility and she has fun doing it.
