Not only are they a cute, cuddly stuffed animal – but they are also a virtual pet that lives at Webkinz.com.

After you purchase a Webkinz pet, you jump online to complete the adoption. Just type the code found on the pet’s tag into the Webkinz.com site, give the pet a name, choose whether it’s a boy or girl and you’re all set!

Take your pet around Webkinz World to play games, earn “Kinz Cash”, feed your pet, buy him or her gifts and set up a custom room with beds, toys and activities.

This is one of the Webkinz that is really hard to find in stores… and most kids know about it – but few have seen one in person!

They are adorable, well-made stuffed animals that have an online “second life” – this means that there is a website where Webkinz users get together and create homes and “lives” for their virtual pets.

THE TOY

Webkinz are plush toys in a wide array of animals and mystical creatures. A few favorites in our house are:

  • “Snowy” the Snowman
  • “Fudge” the Tree Frog
  • “Love Toad” the Valentine’s Day pink heart-covered toad
  • “Lava” the black and orange Dragon
  • “Puppy” the mini black poodle

THE WEBSITE

Each Webkinz comes with a special Adoption code. Take this code with you to the Webkinz website to “adopt” your pet and start taking care of it online.

Here’s a picture of our Lion Fish (named Cool) in his underwater room:

Our son played games and participated in challenges to earn “KinzCash” to “buy” the items in this room – like the bed, the clothes in the dresser and so on.

WHERE DO YOU BUY WEBKINZ?

Webkinz are available at a variety of stores both online and offline.

In your local area, try card shops (like Hallmark stores), toy stores and hobby shops. Occasionally, you’ll find them at superstores like Meijer (in the Midwest).

Your best bet, though, for selection and availability of exactly the pet you’re looking for  is online.

Amazon.com has a huge selection. Here are some of the current best sellers they have available:

He is all white with fuzzy hair and a cute carrot nose.

Our 7 year old has had his for a while now and I can say he cleans up very well! Snowy makes it into the wash machine each time my son’s bedding goes in – and he comes out clean and fluffy every time!
