Webkinz are stuffed animals that come with a secret code, so kids can enter Webkinz World online to take care of a virtual version of their pet and play games.
There are all types of animals and breeds to choose, including seasonal favorites like reindeer at Christmastime.
It’s a safe and fun environment for children to play on the computer, and it ended up being the trick to getting my oldest daughter interested in the computer.
She loves playing on the Webkinz site, and while she’s there, she’s becoming increasingly comfortable with the keyboard and mouse.
Since they’re affordable, averaging $10 each, they also make a good gift for a kid’s birthday party.
