Webkinz Pet
Webkinz Pets are an excellent choice for a child who wants to use the internet and a parent who values internet safety. The pets are adorable and my children are addicted! Fun for parents too!

Webkinz are great!
We bought this Webkinz for my daughter's friend when we attended her birthday party. My daughter already had one, and getting one for her buddy was top on her list of priorities!

Each Webkinz contains a code for a community website aimed at children. The nicest thing about this site is that it is the most secure community site that I've ever seen for a child. When they go to the site, they enter the code from the doll, choose a username and password. That's it. No giving email addresses or real names or addresses. The owners of the site really have no idea what the names or addresses of its members are!

Additionally, children cannot--anywhere on the site--input any personal information. They can play with their friends or even strangers, but to talk to other people they must use phrases that are already put into the system. For example, if they want to tell their friend hi while they are playing a game they would click the drop-down menu and choose the appropriate phrase and click on it to send that phrase to their friend, at which point their friend is given a list of appropriate responses!

As if just the plain fact of security wasn't enough, add into it that your kids are learning responsibility, as they have to care for their pet in the online world by taking him/her out for exercise, buying food for their pet, playing and interacting with the pet, and keeping it clothed. They learn about nutrition (health points go way up when the pet eats their veggies, or down when they eat a hamburger or too much candy), and see the results of their food choices (lose too many health points and your pet will need to go see the doctor for a check-up)and other health choices (exercise makes the points go up, not enough sleep makes the points go down).

But wait, there's more! The games are appropriate, engaging, and fun. My six year old gets frustrated on some other sites when a game gets too hard or complex. Here the games are just challenging enough to make your kids try a bit harder, and very addicting with real and engaging characters. The tournaments give you a chance to try your skills against other players, and there are games for every taste. I've even caught her father online playing at 2 in the morning!

I would definitely recommend buying a Webkinz for every child in your family that has a love for fuzzy animals, games, and community!

WEBKINZ ROCKS!
My husband's family is big and I had no idea what to give to the little ones. Fortunately I bumped against the webkinz at Amazon's website and luckyly I had the curiosity to check it out. I read several reviews (Kid's reviews are a lot of fun to read.) After several reviews I knew what they where all about and decided they could make a good Christmas gift. Got the tiger, the lion, the pig, the elephant and the googles. They all are very cute. Usually kids have more than one webkinz, so I figured that in a way or another my gift was going to be welcome anyway. Webkinz where such a success! I was able to give all the 5 grandnephews the same type of gift (didn't want to provoke jealousy... among them) Webkinz is recomended for children from 3 to 12 years old. Therefore it covered pretty much all my ground. It's nice to know Webkinz are ALWAYS welcome!!!
