Webkinz


Emily's kids have gotten me hooked on Webkinz. Webkinz are stuffed animal toys (a little bigger than a Beanie baby) that come with a code to access a virtual pet world. You feed your "pet", play with your pet, dress your pet, etc. In order to earn money to take care of your pet, you can do educational quizzes (for lots of money) or arcade type games (for less money). Then you basically build a house for your pet and take care of it. This is my kind of pet!!
The kids have had a blast with them--and so have I. I've been logging in to their accounts and helping them earn money and have become addicted to webkinz.
These are really affordable pets too! With each purchase of a pet (about $10), you get a year's free subscription to the website.
For more information, check out www.webkinz.com.
***I really like this picture of Jonah watching the bull dozers and dump trucks out the window.

The picture of Jonah is one of the sweetest I've ever seen! He seemed mesmerized.
