(sorry, I know I missed this last week!)
Our toy of choice is WEBKINZ!
Woo hoo!Webkinz($12.95) and Lil' Kinz ($9.95)can be bought in several places. JCPenney, Sam Goody, Cracker Barrel, B.A.M., etc.
You can click HERE to visit their site and find a store near you, where they can be purchased!
They are little stuffed animals that are super soft and cuddly BUT, they come with a little tag with a secret code that you can enter online.
Online you can play games, work, etc to earn Kinz Cash (I think that's what it's called) and you can buy food and furniture for your pet. You can take him to the doctor and shop for clothing and food too. You can also interact with other people but it is limited. You can only speak certain phrases that it allows and you may trade things with them. You can send mail to other Kinz owners, even mailing them some of your 'purchased' items. You can make mini-movies among other things but again, there is a limit on the words that your kids can type in. Anything naughty would not work as well as anything controversial.
My kids have worked and saved to purchase these little critters and they play with them EVERY DAY! And they have for months!
They've also named them and have 'birth/adoption certificates' for them printed from the web site when they signed them up!
(You can also buy real things for the real stuffed animals like clothing and things at the stores that sell them.)
