welcome to webkinz

My daughter got not just one, but two, Webkinz for her birthday. Each cute fluffy animal comes with a code. After getting one, you jump online, go to their site, and sign up to be the proud owner of an online animal! I like the virtual pet idea, (virtual pet, virtual poop) comes complete with games, KinzCash, and a clever chat feature that uses pre-constructed words and phrases so that chatting doesn't get out of hand. They expire one year from registration.

So far, my kids have had a ton of fun with others just talking about Webkinz. Their site is simple enough and safe for all ages. If you haven't heard of them, beware! The craze is hitting California! Just in time to alert the chubby, bearded man in the red suit.
