I would like some advice from anyone that has used it.

Innocent By Nonny 7 Months Ago Webkinz is a nifty site for kids to access. My grandchildren enjoy it very much. First you have to buy a pet Webkinz. The price for a pet ranges from $8.00-$13.00 depending on the size as there are regular Webkinz and 'Lil Webkinz' available. The stuffed pet comes with an attached code that you type in online at the Webkinz site Adoption Center. The child will receive a room, food and $1,000 Webkinz Cash in order to take care of their pet re: decorating their pet's room, providing food, clothing, health care and schooling. Playing Webkinz games provides a child the opportunity to earn money to purchase these on line items for their pets. I think it is a good learning tool for youngsters to learn about the 'economics' of life in a child friendly way. Last Edit: 2008/05/06 23:17 By Nonny.

Innocent By Nonny 7 Months Ago Hi CariannDS, The age ranges anywhere from 4 years old on up. My granddaughters are 7 and 15. They both have Webkinz and play games on line together. Ashtyn, 7, and Devin are half sisters. So each one goes online and connects from their home computer to enjoy time together. You have to ask and be accepted as a contact. There is a Webkinz telephone with scripted responses to choose from. No free form chatting or communication is permitted. Last Edit: 2008/05/06 12:53 By Nonny.
