 Webkinz - Not just for kids....May 16, 2007
By P. LeBlanc
"Pam"
These little guys are great. You can find them cheaper (if you can find them) in stores, but Amazon has a pretty good selection. Save your money and don't buy the "retired" ones. Who cares how common it is? I find myself playing the arcade games to earn cash for my kids to spend. They have some great Trivia questions that provide some thinking, but most of the online fun is in playing games and interacting with your pet. Plus, my 5 year old LOVES her 'Lil Kinz Chihuahua. He is the perfect size to fit in his shoebox bed and to travel around with us. I think it is a great concept, and not as bad as some parents make them out to be. As with everything in life, you must interact with your child, set limits and know when to say "No." But I have found these guys cute, entertaining and fun for the whole family.
For those who don't know, the "money" you earn playing games is spent in the virtual world to build a home for your pet online. I suggest taking the time to build a home for the real pet as well, so the kids aren't turning into zombies in front of the computer. Dogs need to go for a walk don't they? I make sure my daughter walks hers every day (weather allowing) and she never has to worry about "curbing" her dog either.
Just a really fun toy that you can spend a lot or little time on line with, but fun on its own without the virtual side.

Great Fun, adorable too!May 27, 2007
By T. Sullivan
"Juicy Couture Lover!"
I bought this for my 5 yr old son before they were all the hype, and really didnt know about the whole website thing until we got home and checked it out.It was amazing! What a great invention, it teaches your kids how to be responsible, how to be comfortable on the computer, it even has games to teach them how to type and the correct letters on the keyboard. Memory and matching games,and of course our tiny chihuahua named "Antonio" has to go with us everywhere, and my son sleeps with him every night.This is a boy who has never had an interest in stuffed animals and is more of a GI joe, Xbox fan, and he LOVES this dog like it is a real pet.SO we are buying a new one today..but i wanted to let everyone know this little chihuahua is sooo cute and soft! His head is sewn on and cocked to the side with a little grin as if to say" huh??" very very cute.We are getting either the cat, or the gorilla today...and I hope it is as cute! You cant go wrong with webkinz. they are alot of fun.

Very reasonably priced and my 9 yr old daughter LOVES it!!!Dec 23, 2007
By T & B Coblentz
"LoneOak"
This product was reasonably priced. I was impressed by the speedy shipping and my nine year old daughter was quite happy with her very first Webkinz. She will be purchasing more from this seller soon. The computer games are a lot of fun as well ~ some are even educational. I would reccommend this toy to anyone who loves stuffed animals. Very fun and cute!!!

Webkinz - Lil KinzMay 15, 2007
By C. Thompson
"Smart Mom"
I was a little reluctant to order this item because it was a "Lil Kinz" instead of a regular "Webkinz", but it had the internet capability and my son really wanted a webkinz, so I ordered it. Fortunately, it is exactly the same as a regular webkinz, only a little smaller in size, which I think is better. We are very pleased with the toy, my 7 yr. old son loves it, however, I thought it was way over priced, and it was one of the cheapest webkinz listed on Amazon. If you can find webkinz in your local store, you can buy them for half the price paid here, but the catch is, "if you can find them". I'm glad we were able to get this one, however, I will wait for my local store to restock before I pay this high price on Amazon again.

My now 7 year old daughter absolutely loves this toy.
I love going on the computer, too to keep the pet happy and
to play games. I really love it, too.
