It's your ten year old birthday and you need to buy a gift. A doll or stuff animal is always a great idea... In the 70's. Today's kids are into the fast speed internet and anything that has anything to do with tecnology. New gadgets are being created all the time to keep up with this generation. Creative ideas are always the ones that are most liked. Ganz took the stuffed animal and tried to come up with something that will get kids to want them. Hence for they created these virtual pets that they can squees like any other stuff animal.

These neat pets can be played with on the road, or on the computer. In the virtual world of webkinz, kids also are able to learn a little but about the real word. They must keep their pet well fed, heathly, and happy. Along with food, other things such as furniture, beds, and almost anything that can be put inside a room can be purchased.

But what has most parents worrying is how much time their children spend online playing with their furry creatures. The kids become obbessed trying to play games and do anything they can to earn more money to buy silly things like a pool, air hockey table, or even a tv. With every pet you get 2,000 kinzcash, a new room, and a rare item that comes with each unique animal. Playing cards have been created to give more kinzcash and prizes and more and more things are being made to give the kids what they want.

And that is what they are getting. Webkinz are barely touching shelves as webkinz crazed children flock for them. The newest thing out is webkinz charms. Each charm unlocks a code in the Magic Forest. These neat charms came out in July of this year, but few have been sent to stores due to pre-orders.
