A lot of people don't like webkinz, but I have to say that the webkinz I bought the girls are probably one of the biggest hits of Christmas!
Susannah and Abigail had never heard of them before Christmas Day and thought they were just given cuddly toys (which they loved anyway) but when I explained what they were they thought it sounded great.
Lets just say the girls have spent a lot of time together on webkinz.com and both are THRILLED with it. So am I! Basically their cuddly animals (Susie has a racoon and Abigail has a horse) came with a special code each. They get to go to the website and register their animal for adoption....they can take their animal to the online vet...they can earn virtual 'kinzcash' which they can use to 'buy' clothing, accessories and toys for their virtual pet...they can make friends with other animals and their owners online....Susannahs racoon was given 'pet of the month' which she loved. There is an arcade room where they can play games and earn cash etc etc - they can mine for gems for their crowns.....
I love watching the girls working together on it and helping each other....and I can't believe how Abigails computer, reading and math skills have improved....it's GREAT!!!
