Bought a Webkinz pony stuffed animal plush for my 3 year old and she loves the plush pony, but is not very interested in the webkinz virtual online pony she has, I think if she was 5 years or older she would enjoy online part very much. She sits in my lap sometimes while I buy food,garden and grow food, and feed the pony. Then we buy clothes for the pony and change her outfit regularly. She will pick out clothes and furniture and food for me to buy, then I do the keyboard/mouse work part. She watches a little while I play arcade games there and tournament games to win webkinz money to buy all the fun stuff for the pony. (It can get expensive bought a clown wig exclusive item for our pony this morning cost 344 webkinz dollars WOW!) When you garden sometimes you get 3 or more of a food when harvesting, and we sell that food and get webkinz dollars for it. A fun part is going into the clubhouse where you can meet other online pets and invite them back to your place. Our place has 4 rooms, one room is an outdoor yard with a $2,000 webkinz pool in it, and 2 trampolines so when we have company they can jump on their own trampoline too. There is for educational purposes learning to take care of an animal, a quiz place where you get webkinz dollars for every correct question from art to science to language from ages 5 to 13 to everyone. Also there is a stove and blender you can get, and make special dishes and drinks for your online pet, and a lot more. For the very young this is easy to do, you spin the wheel and win furniture or clothes or food or webkinz money you can do this once a day. The charm forest which you need a Webkinz charm code and in the forest you click on a fairy, if she is a good fairy you willeither get tree sap,webkinz money,clothes, or strange foods, or charms. Overall I rate this as a whole a 100 out of a hundred and a webkinz pet will make an AWESOME holiday or birthday or get well gift too. Definetly worth the money and time, for kids and adults.
