• ~The Webkinz Craze~

  Have you and  your kids caught the Webkinz craze?  The boys and all their friends and even my girlfriends (who log on, once the kiddos are tucked in bed, to win KinzCash for their little darlings) are so loving Webkinz World.  I must say this toy is a great value for the money. The little plush toys are only about $10 and come with a secret code that offers children a world of fun and make believe. They can play on line with their friends, care for their pet, dole out the cash to care for the pet, furnish their pet’s homes, use coupons to get deals, win money by playing educational games and answering questions. Yes, I even find myself playing  “Quizzy’s Word Challenge” and answering ”Fun Facts” questions to earn KinzCash. Webkinz World is a whole world onto itself.  Webkinz is a great invention; it is an economics lesson and much, much more, I wish I had thought of it, whoever did, hit a home run with this one, no pieces to pick up or anything! The only downside is sharing my computer with three little boys anxious to care for their pets.  My friends and I joke about how wonderful it would be to be able to buy each of our children a lap top computer (we have 15 kids between us)  and then we could all head for Panera where the kids could take advantage of the WiFi and my girlfriends and I could  have a peaceful lunch and  enjoyable conversation!
