great educationaly toy     Posted 08 June 2007 Wouldnt recommend for kids who do not know how to use the computer. The web site is the best. Very educational, using math, spelling, and all sorts of interesting games. Best part is learning the value of money and what things cost. I thought the computer prices were expensive but these toys are impossible to find locally.
Webkinz are a hit     Posted 07 May 2007 I bought this for my 4 year old son b/c all of his friends had Webkinz. I'm lucky that I bought it back in March to be able to give it to him for Easter b/c they were sold out in all of the nearby stores. It is really cool to be able to access the website and earn KinzCash throught games and quizzes. He really loves it as a stuffed animal, too. The red-eyed tree frog is very cute and soft. Definitely one of my best purchases. My son gives it 2 thumbs up.
Webkinz Tree Frog     Posted 10 April 2007 Webkinz Tree Frog mailed to grandson who danced around his kitchen when he received it. "Hopper" is receiving much love and Grandma is a hero. Have been unable to find the Webkins Tree Frog in the Hartford, Ct area.. Thank heavens for Amazon.Com Delivery was quick and nicely packaged. Most especially it was full sized as pictured. Have heard complaints from others who ordered on the web (not Amazon.Com) to find ordered Webkinz were the smaller ones and had not been listed as such. Conclusion: Happy with Tree Frog Webkins, Happy with Amazon.Com.
WE LOVE WEBKINS     Posted 17 March 2007 This WebKins tree frog is so cute! My children and all of their friends love to play webkins on the computer with each other!
webkinz = stuffed animal + screen time     Posted 11 March 2007 Overall a cute concept. If you are not familiar with it, here's a run-down
Webkinz stuffed animals come with a code that allows the user to register the "pet" on a website. Your child can name the pet, decide it's gender, and then log on to play with it. So, you are not just buying the stuffed animal, you are also buying access to a website that gives you virtual money to buy pet supplies and virtual locations in which you can feed, groom, and entertain your pet. I am assuming while you do this the "real" stuffed animal sits alone in another room. The virtual animal has a meter that lets you know how happy and well-fed it is. If you neglect it, it will suffer (or at least become less happy).
I suppose some could argue this is a good way to teach children about the responsibility of pets or to let them feel as if they have a real pet (but without the mess).
Consumers who object to excess use of video games and tv, probably should opt for a traditional stuffed animal that does not come with a virtual counterpart that requires the use of a computer.
