Online Gaming for Kids — Webkinz — Age 4 – teenager

Today is my son’s 8th birthday and for it he and his sister both received a Webkinz stuffed animal. Webkinz are little stuffed animals that you buy for $10 or under. (My kids have a black stallion and a monkey but there are different breeds of dogs, cats, any animal imaginable to purchase) With the Webkinz comes a code that you enter into http://www.webkinz.com for your specific animal and to start your account.

Both my kids are members of Club Penguin and Nicktropolis but I have to say the Webkinz Community blows them both away. There are no additional costs other than the stuffed animal you have bought. It has the same premise, you name your animal and design its clothes and room with objects you buy after you earn money from playing games and doing activities. BUT the games are GREAT and there are other ways to earn money as well. There are trivia games where you enter in the kids ages (5-6) (7-8) all the way up to teenagers and the subject to be tested in. The kids are given 50 multiple choice questions and can quickly see they earn many more points for these than for playing arcade games. There are also job postings and you can earn money by caring for pets, making burgers, etc. You also have to watch that you pet is healthy and happy and buy food and play with him accordingly. We have spent the last few hours playing with the site and I am VERY impressed. My son is voluntarily doing Math so he can earn points quicker!

Thank you Webkinz for coming up with online gaming community for kids that lets them use their brains! I’m impressed and can’t wait to play some more!

    I taught kids through computer games for many years in NYC. There are many educational games that are FUN as well. There is no need for your child to play games with violence. I only recommend quality and safe games and sites here.
