The Springer Spaniel joins us for the June release of Webkinz. He's fluffy, cute, and brings to mind the hyper puppies. He comes with a virtual outdoors bathtub (a pond), and likes sausages.
The webkinz site has really surprised me with being dynamic, interesting, and full of positive reinforcement - kids growing their own food, rather than buying food in the store, will see their webkinz grow healthier, and if you send your pet to school, it'll do better in the competitions.
Full of games and daily activities sure to keep a child interested, the constant evolution of the site - and the addictive quality of the games and quizzes - quickly became my favorite site for kids. The site has added more quiz questions (in case your child managed to complete the thousands already there), and new arena contests that are fun and friendly. New games are constantly evolving.
With a safe interface (members can only send each other pre-written messages), my niece and nephew adore it, and you don't have to worry about their interactions. Members can trade their virtual items (clothing, food, furniture, etc) with other members in a safe interaction that doesn't work until both sides agree.
