Ganz, the maker of the insanely popular Webkinz line of small plush toys that come with codes that unlock a virtual world, has created a line of toys just for littler kids called Webkinz Jr. They sent us our choice of toy, and Kaitlyn picked this cute and very soft Pink Puppy who she has named, not surprisingly, “Pink Puppy”.
Each plush toy comes with a code that you use to get started on the Webkinz Jr. website. Your child controls their pet and where it goes, areas include the pet’s home, a school, and a store for buying home decorations, clothes, toys, and snacks. Kaitlyn needed me to do the actual controlling while she told me where to go and what to click on. Unlike the original Webkinz site, Webkinz Jr. does not have a social networking aspect, so you don’t have to worry about accepting friend requests or chatting or anything like that. Kaitlyn put me in charge of controlling the pet with the mouse while she told me where to go, what to click on, what to buy. It was a fun way for us to play online together!
Our Webkinz Jr. Pink Puppy is so soft and cuddly, it’s a great gift for a child of any age. The parent can always hang on to the code and use it to activate the website account when the child is ready.
Buy It: There are only a few listed on Amazon.com, so I’d recommend calling your local Toys “R” Us store first to see if they have the pets in stock. The price listed on their site is $24.99. Suggested age range is three to six years.

I am a pretty big fan of Webkinz and love these cuddly ones for the younger set… HOwever, not realizing that these were meant for “age 3-6″, my 7 year old picked one out as her souvenir from a day with Grandma… she got home and was horrified to read the label! Keep this in mind if you are looking for a Webkinz for an older child… don’t pick a Webkinz Jr.!!
