WEBKINZ
Yellow Lab

Webkinz are simply very lovable stuffed plush animals and dolls. Nothing is really all that new or exciting about that though. The real "neat" thing about Webkinz stuffed animals is that each one comes with its very own unique identification code that, when registered on the www.webkinz.com internet website, this is where you'll be able to officially adopt your very own Webkinz pet and start to build your Webkinz pet's virtual world (where they technically will live). This is Webkinz Welcom World !

In this virtual Webkinz World, your child will be able to start to earn KinzCash, which is the universally accepted currency in Webkinz World, used to acquire their pet's very own virtual home, furniture, clothing and other belongings that develop their Webkinz' online virtual existence. Kids can earn KinzCash points by participating in the included challenging online Webkinz games, trivia and more interactive activities. The more Webkinz games and activities that your child participates in and completes, the more KinzCash they will have to support their Webkinz pet (kind of like a virtual job to bring home the bacon for the Webkinz pet). It's not a bad thing to be able to teach children these kinds of responibilities that will come into play later in their adult lives. These Webkinz online games are fun and safe, but maybe sometimes just a little easy to get addicted to (for kids and adults alike).

How much do webkinz cost? Webkinz pets generally cost somewhere in the $12.00 to $15.00 price range for the stuffed animal itself, and that does include one year of Webkinz online internet play with your pet. It's not expensive to buy a Webkinz pet. When you weigh out the fun your child will have with their pet over an entire year, it's really a no-brainer as far as the value you get for the price. Your kids will love you for it, as many of their friends already have their own one or more Webkinz pets or are probably clamoring to their parents about adopting one or more. Another point to keep in mind is that the uniqueness of each Webkinz really makes these pets collectible and some have proven to be quite valuable collectibles that other folks have paid very good money to acquire for their own collections. This is very reminiscent of the whole Cabbage Patch Doll and Beanie Baby craze that many are still seeing financial rewards from today by selling the collectible dolls at high demand venues like e-Bay.

How great is that? Good, clean (and educational) fun for the kids, and maybe a little bit of money back in your pocket too if you you're interested somewhere down the road. Are Webkinz pets a toy or an investment? Either way, they're here for the time being and will continue to be great fun for kids of all ages while the craze lasts, however long that will be. The Webkinz pets craze still is going strong as of this writing.
