Webkinz Jr. Review & Contest

Recently my little one, and I were asked to review a new Webkinz site for preschoolers called Webkinz Jr.  Ganz sent us a code to evaluate the site.  Being that my little one does so much with a few little children in our neighborhood she used to bring kids onto her Webkinz account, and let them play.  This was a great opportunity for her to evaluate Webkinz Jr. so that the kids she interacts with could know about it first hand.  When she was done she gave her code to a smaller child so that they could enjoy it for themself. 

It is just like the original Webkinz site.  You purchase a stuffed animal with a code that gives you online access for a year from activation.  You can also upgrade to a Deluxe membership if you choose, which will give you access to additional games, and more that are available to Deluxe members only.  The Webkinz Jr. site is designed for children 3 to 6 years old.  Webkinz is a internet based game, and needs no software loading.  The only thing that you must have is a internet connection.

The stuffed animals are much larger than the original Webkinz that Ganz made, and they are just as cute.  There are six really soft plush pets to choose from.  I really liked that it had a lot of things on the site for kids to do. Your pet gets its own house, and this is where your little one can take care of it.  There’s also a park that they can visit, a classroom where they can play learning games, and they can earn virtual money to use at the store to buy the pets food, clothing, and toys.  If your pet gets sick, then the child can take it to the doctor.

Parents get their own login area where they can set up skill levels to fit their child’s learning ability making it just right for their child to play the games with very little, if any parental assistance.  Not only did I get to try out the site, but I also had my little one tell me what she thought about it being that she is a major Webkinz fan.

This is how she felt about the site.

She said it was a fun site to play on.  She can imagine seeing little kids having lots of fun with all the games, and fun things that they can do.  She says it is a good way to teach children a little bit about responsibility.  The other children that are going to use the site with our little one said that they enjoyed the site very much.

I was sent a Webkinz Jr. code by Gamz so as to review the website.  I was also given 1 plush, & code for a giveaway.  I was not paid any monetary compensation for this review. This post is my opinion and should be taken as just that. Having received samples has no impact on our personal use, experience, or like for any product.  As always my review is honest, and concise in every way.
