Webkins
I am fascinated by the social networking tool Webkinzs. My daughter received a Webkinz for her 2nd birthday. At first glance I thought that it was just a stuffed pink animal puppy. My neighbors daughter had to tell me what it was. The pink puppy (plush toy) comes with a tag...that has information to register the puppy on the online site. Children use this code and tag to sign up their animal. Actually the adopt the animal. They animal comes with a small house/room that they can decorate and arrange for the animal. Children can set up information to manage and take care of their animals, such as feeding, cleaning and clothing, etc. Children can play educational games in webkinz. They can also give their code to a friend and if their friend is logged on while another child is logged on they can communicate to each other. So it is a small social networking site. Their are many restriction on the site...words that can not be used..such as bad language and phone numbers and street addresses. Children can also earn kinzcash to buy things for the animal. The site is marketed to parents. Parents can sign on to manage their child's profile. Kids love it, and it cost about. There are many webkinz or lilkinz to collect and add to the child's profile. It is a "safe" and educational site! check it our www.webkinz.com.
