We also agree that your kids will love Webkinz world. Please feel free to view our thoughts

We love the fact that kids can try to earn money playing games, finding recipes to mix and make their own dinner creations sometimes ending up with gunk! :-)

My daughter got a white terrier webkinz for her birthday in October and I have not spent a lot of time figuring out exactly what you can do on the website. This was so helpful to read and she is getting the reindeer for xmas, so now we can have a lot more fun together on the website.

My kids have been playing this. They have one webkinz and they all sign in and take turns caring for it. Even my 15 year old likes Webkinz.

Nice review...

I think parents can learn a lot about computers and their kids with computers if they start playing with their kids on webkinz.

OK... bowing down.

Level 23 on zingos pop??? WOW!!!!!

You are not only my son's idol, you are mine.

Did you at least get a trophy or something for that achievement????

I have a hard enough time getting past level 7!!!!

LOL Kimm,

I was going to ask if Colin was into these since he's just a touch older than Alex is. Probably a wise move to stay away since we are sucked in but they are SO MUCH FUN! If you do give them a try he'll probably really enjoy it.

by MikesCelticLuv
I see signs for these things everywhere and I never knew what they were. I now know they are something that I need to avoid as they seem very addicting.

the designers of Webkinz are evil geniuses. My daughter loves both her elephant and the site - and I've gotten addicted to the arcade, so she has tons of cash to play with. Sad, but true.

Tell your son that I once got to level 23 on Zingoz Pop...;)

even show Colin these.

My mother in law though, upon hearing my sister in law's kids has them, decided Colin "had" to have one ... though I talked her out of it in the end.

I just didn't want to "go" there - lol :)

My wife (elementary school teacher) stumbled across these last year as a reward when a couple of kids helped her with a special project. She was the "star teacher" of the school as far as the kids were concerned !!

You've convinced me to steer clear of this addicting toy! I spent WAY too many hours playing The SIMs when they came out and worrying about their homes and lives and I can just imagine me obsessing over some cute and cuddly stuffed animal, too. :)

Great review!

You know, Neopets is addictive for me. Now I have another site to play at. The Cheeky Monkey is just TOO cute. I'm still trying to figure things out but rest assured, my little monkey won't be alone for very long.
