The makers of beautiful plush stuffed toys, Ganz Incorporated, are creating a new home for all pets: to the Webkinz World. In this virtual world, your chosen animal becomes alive and can interact with you in a series of activities you, as masters, planned for them. Most of all, your animals can even experience normal feelings such as sad, happy, health, full, or sick. Thus, you need to take care and love your pets.

To make the Webkinz World much happier, there are a number of games, quizzes, trivia, and other fun items that you can enjoy together with your pet, every time you buy yourself the stuffed toy.

The virtual playground has been created for the typical users, who are basically children at an age range of 6 to over 13 years old. The level of learning as well as the contents of the website are also fit within the given age range. The general concept of the game is that you get a pet for adoption, which can be similar to your real world pet, and allow it to explore the Webkinz world. You begin with a simple single room, a number of toys, and few Webkinz dollars. Along the way, you can obtain more of them. You can earn more, collect other items, and even upgrade the Webkinz environment.

But how do you expand the world for your pet? You can add additional clothing, food, furniture, yards, room, and toys. You can do the interior decorating yourself—moving around furniture, arranging the rooms, or changing the environment where your pet is living. For example, if you can have a pirate-themed ship room, and you can collect pirate-related pieces. Other environment that you can create includes complete kitchens, ice rooms, luxurious backyard complete with swimming pools and slides. You can even pimp your pets by giving them accessories and some cool clothing.

The Webkinz world is also very educational for children, especially if they happen to be in Quizzy’s. There are a lot of fun facts they can avail of from there. The questions are appropriate for ages. There are also a lot of arcade games that enhance learning. One example is the Lunch Letters which helps your children learn more about spelling and typing out words, just like Quizzy’s Word Challenge. Operation Gumball, on the other hand, widens the child’s intelligence and logic. The W Tales as well as the Webkinz News promote reading among children. They can also participate in different competitions that encourage creativity, problem solving, and writing. With KinzCash, they are taught how to manage their money wisely.

But any parent will think of this: is this place safe? The answer is a resounding yes. Even if the Internet itself is full of scammers and treacherous individuals, any kid can still feel comfort in this virtual world. Take a look at its online chat. It has such an amazing word filter that no one can basically say everything they want to say. There’s even no manner that people can exchange any confidential and personal information.

The entire team of Webkinz is working real hard to make everything more interactive and fun. So expect a lot in the future.
