so you need to know what a webkin is?
a webkin is a small stuffed animal with a tag that has a secret code. that you go to webkins .com and play online with it , and it is a virtual world they can create- you automatically get a room, and some money, then you can buy things to decorate the rooms, and things to play with or cook with.
you have to feed it and make sure it is healthy. you can dress it. and buy toys or books for your webkin. and you earn more money by playing games in the arcade. the more money you earn the more you can buy. and the more webkins you have the bigger your house gets. plus you can send e-cards to other people with webkins or send presents. plus they get a cute stuffed animal. the run between 11 and 14 bucks on average but my niece has a St. Bernard dog, and it sells on ebay for $50. some are rare and go for more money on Ebay. they can be found at most Hallmarks. and other gift shops. there is a store locator on the webkins .com link. now they are having webkins clothes, and charms other things to buy. big trend for kids. and i resisted for the sole reason that i have so many kids i'd never get computer time. and they'd fight tons. well they have and they do and i haven't gotten tons of blog time in but they are pretty thrilled anyway. so i can't complain. fun trend. so jump on the bandwagon, plus like my friend pointed out just one more thing/privilege to take away when they get in trouble.

HAHA! i love the thing to take away from them when they are in trouble!! great idea!
Ok you just made my life easier as I need to check out these, and was wondering where to find them, for a Christmas present.
It is nice having something they love and will do anything to have and not loose (or get back). It is the best barganing chip there is!
LOL! One more thing to take away!! I'll have to remember that if dd get's one for Christmas!
Oh my - we have a whole farm or zoo of Webkinz at my place!!! But at least when the kids ARE on the computer I feel like they are on an okay site!
Have a great one!
alright i have never heard of these...and im all about having that something that can be taken away as punishment...with my kids nothing else really works! ;)
thanks for the info! :)
I have seen these at our neighborhood grocery store....I thought they were just another stuffed animal....not a computer game device! Silly me! Hmm....maybe I'll have to check it out. Are the games easy enough for a 4 year old?
This is what my daughter has been asking for, but your explanation makes so much more sense.
this is pretty cool! i've never heard of these before & they sound like something my girls would love having!!! i'll have to check them out! so, do you get commision for advertising these??? you should!
and i loved seeing the pics of you on dendi's blog!! you are so pro at black friday!!! and i get so excited about the great deals i got that day...i think i need to add a countdown on my blog for next years black friday, becuz i'm seriously so excited for it again!!!
happy t-day!!
julie - know what webkins are but so glad i don't have to buy yet as my kids don't! there is just too too much stuff to clean and put away!!! (although a good way to dicipline i agree) but writing to say your kids are so cute in their costco dresses!!!) also your oldest looks so much like you - she is exactly you its crazy. do you think that or is it only because i am 'meeting' your kids through your blog that i think that.
my son ian played with Webkinz for few weeks. Then he moved on to star wars.
Not his kind of toy.
These look darling! How fun for all of the grandkids to receive one for Christmas!!! It sounds like it is a huge hit! I am on my way to their website now! Thanks for the information! :)
hey! it was fun reading about your crazy after thanksgiving shopping adventures. maybe one of these days i will be able to keep up with you all in the wide world of blog...
My kiddos have talked about these but I'm not sure I want to get them for the same reason-too much computer time & not enough for me!
You are such a great mom! my sister's kids are obsessed!!!! They are so cute and I may possibly give in someday....we'll see....but love all the fun pictures of your adorable kiddos!
Thanks for the info...we got the pink poodle~ Right up Sweet G's alley. I'll let you know how she likes it!!
;o)
Thanks for straightening me out! And hoo boy...I LOVE having exciting toys to use as leverage for when they are naughty. heh heh heh (evil mom cackle)
I'm sure you know what that sounds like, you CACKLER!!!
Wow. Where have I been. And I was just gonna get my kid a doll. Evidently, that's so 5 years ago. Thanks for keeping me updated.
Wow! Am I out of the loop or what? I have no idea what the crap you are talking about. I guess I need to read up on these things. They dont discuss Webkins in my tabloids!!
