I am a bit interested on youth and computers, especially girls getting interested in computers. So, I want to share my curiosity in Webkins. My co-worker had asked me about webkins, and I had no clue, so I asked a young cousin of mine and she was like, I have 5. So, I was unable to connect with her, so I bought one. I bought a chihuahua, to check it out. You get a stuffed animal and then a code to enter the virtual world.
Why did I acquire these toys? I was curious of whether this virtual world was safe after visiting with second life. Questions that came to mind included... What kind of chatting features are available? (It is basicly canned.) Can you learn something? What kinds of interactions or games are available? Can you make friends and communicate?
I introduced my webkinz access to my friends daughter, who soon after playing with mine, was given her first, which was a cat and she named grase with an s. For her birthday, the cake I posted. I gave her a panda, she also received a puppy. But I gave her in addition a kinz charm with a charm bracelet along with some trading cars.
There are many toys becoming available for children, including a Barbie virtual world and the Shining Starz. If I find more and have access, I will post what I learn.
I will try to post more on my friends daughters new birthday webkinz toys when I learn more. Oh and you may wonder, his daughter is only 8 years old.
