Pet of the Month for November is Hippo

Webkinz™ have arrived!

What are Webkinz™?

Webkinz™ are the hottest new gift item. It's a plush toy that you can purchase at independent gift stores.....but that's not all. Each plush animal contains a secret code that unlocks hours of online fun, games, and learning. Register and adopt your pet and then it's off to fun. Although designed for younger children ages 5-12, plenty of older kids are playing as well. We are hooked on the fun too! The online site is safe for kids, they can only "talk" with other online players by using pre-defined sayings. The online site can teach your child how to budget and take care of household needs and pets. Each pet needs to be fed, taken to the vet and played with. You can earn Kinzcash™ by going to the employment office, answering questions in Quizzy's Corner™ and playing games. You can add rooms, decorate your home, dress your pet and more. Take a virtual tour of webkinz world at www.webkinz.com

Pet of the Month

Remember to adopt your pet during its pet month to receive the special bag of loot. Good news though! If you already have the pet for that month, you get to play all the special things for the pet of the month. You just will not receive the bag of loot items. The bag of loot will include a coupon for the W shop, some KinzCash, a special food recipe and a totally awesome exclusive item. Exclusive items can be found in the W Shop under Pet of the Month. We are especially excited about the donut seeds and the super stunt unicycle. You can buy a pet of the month at any time, but you want to make sure you don't adopt it until the correct month is here!

Charms, Trading Cards, Mouse Pads, Glamour Items

Bad news about charms, don't expect any real ones anytime soon. These are the rarest items on earth to get ahold of. Good news, you can still buy virtual charms by visiting the estore. Look for the link below the log in to Webkinz world. They are only available on Saturdays and Sundays. They are $1.50 each, but you must purchase a minimum of $5.00 total to order. In order to be able to collect all the charms in the forest you must have 8 different charm codes. If you buy 2 virtual pig charms, you will only see 1 in your collection and you will recieve Kinz Cash for the other one, so try to collect different charms. Glamour items have arrived, we now have the lip gloss. We do have trading cards in stock and I was very excited at my first pack when I won a virtual monkey as one of my gifts! I named him Paco and we have been having fun.


New Pets and Other Items

Everyone is excited about the new water animals including the goldfish and the manatee. We won't have them until August, but are excited to try them out. Toucan is a big hit, he flys around webkinz world. I adopted one right away and enjoy seeing him swim in my pool. She flys for part of it and walks for part. It is pretty funny. August will bring some other new pets, they have released 11 styles!!! Look for the goldfish, manatee, deer, skunk, caramel lion, american albino, silverback gorills, cocoa dinosaur, and a lil kinz bluejay.
