WEBKINZ - Chihuahua Reviews

• Huge webkinz fan

  
  By A22DLJGFYSOSDI on 2007-05-17
  Ok, so we have quite a few of the webkinz. This is requested from my 11 year old as what she wants more than anything, she's been begging for months. It holds up as well as the pink poodle which was her first webkinz pet. I personally think the cheeky monkey is the cutest and holds up the best of all the animals. I think the chihuahua is very cute and is most cherished with my 11yo. It's not JUST a stuff animal.
  
  I can't get over how eduactional the online aspect is. We have spent hours as a family on the quizzey's word challenage. My child actually goes to a "job" everyday there. I think the questions are great for the educational games, especially the health. It is a SAFE place for kids to go online!!
  
  Any little girl would love a little dog as a pet!
  
  

• Mom & Son Addicted!!! Fun and educational!!!

  My 6 year old son just received a Webkinz Chihuahua this afternoon for his birthday. He was so excited! This present is from his aunt who is a first grade teacher and mother of two. My son and I filled out the "adoption" information together online, printed out a few really cute certificates and useful information, and we immediately began playing with his Chihuahua and building the virtual world. I think the games fit for a wide variety of ages. We had a blast playing this evening.
  
  *I have to admit I played for another 3 hours once my son went to bed!! I will need to set firm time limits for each of us. Also, I think I need to get my own Webkins!! :-)
  
  

• not as much fun as it claims to be

  I am less than impressed with the Webkinz toys. The toy itself is simply a stuffed animal so nothing special there. The associated website with games and activities seems like a fun idea, but can be pretty complicated to figure out, and sometimes hard to log onto. When you register your Webkinz toy online, you'll be faced with a scheme designed to make your child beg for more of these toys. It will tell you that your child's toy is "best friends" with one or more other Webkinz, so naturally your child will want those, too. (I'm not that big a sucker, we're sticking with just the one) As I said, the website can be frustrating for children to navigate, so be prepared spend some time trying to help your child figure it out. In addition, the "subscription" to the website expires after a year, at which point you have to pay in order to regain access. They also try to increase interest in certain animals by following the Beanie Baby tactic of "retiring" some of them, and then charging much higher prices. All in all, this seems to be nothing more than another shameless marketing ploy designed to separate us gullible parents from our money.
  
  

• Webkinz Chihuahua

  
  By ALZG9XPKME346 on 2007-06-27
  My daughter's best friend was so happy to receive her Webkinz Chihuahua just as we set out for vacation. She and my daughter played with their Webkinz pups for nearly the entire trip. Both girls, who are 10 years old, love exploring the Webkinz web site and meeting their school friends there.
  
  

• My Six Year Old Loves This Toy!

  
  By A2J965N3ZZ46YB on 2007-05-12
  What a neat concept.
  Many animals to choose from and my daughter loves going online to "take care" of her pet.
  The games are easy and educational!
  It also helps kids learn the concept of earning money and having to spend it on things other than "stuff". The have to pay for doctor visits and food among other things!

• I like my stuffed animal but not the online stuff

Its takes forever to make points and then you spend them on stuff you need and thers none left. There arnt any games that my little sister can play. there to hard for her. None of my friends play anymore so I havent been playing as much.
  
  
• Webkinz is VERY good value!!
  By A3T1PHAIKO6X05 on 2007-08-01
  My daughter wanted one of these Webkinz and we could never find one instock at a local shop!! I decided to check Amazon and was amazed that we had several to choose from!! It was well worth the money and the shop that it came from on Amazon was very quick service and no trouble whatsoever!! We have since been able to find one at our local shop now so my daughter now has 2 Webkinz!!! She is 10 years old and thoroughly enjoys taking care of her pets!! I have played the Quizzy's questions to help earn her Kinz Cash to purchase stuff for her Webkinz House!!! Very Fun!!!
  
  
• My 6yr old loves it (and the website)!
  By A1IE7KFCLWDL6Q on 2007-07-31
  We have both the Webkinz Chihuahua and the Lil'kins Chihuahua. My daughter loves them both, although I sometimes have trouble figuring out which one is which unless I'm looking at both. The Webkinz is not that much larger than the Lil'kins, but my daughter loves them and that's what matters.
  
  The Webkinz site is definately her favorite web site right now. I love the fact that there are no advertisements or links that take you out of webkinz. I also feel that it is educational... not necessarily because it's teaching kids to take care of something (if you don't log on for a week, your animal's status does not change) but because most of the games in the arcade (especially quizzy's) are designed to make kids think. I probably would not try to have a child who cannot read use the website, just because a lot of it is text based, and would be frustrating for a non-reader.
  
  
• Awesome

  Webkinz is awesome!!!!! I think the chihuahua is the cutest! At first we had trouble but we figured it out. Does anyone know how to invite your friends over and go over to your friends house? If you do PLEASE REPLY!!!!! The only thing that's educational is that you have to earn money and ansewer questions.

• I Love Webkinz!
  By on 2007-10-28
  My sister and I have 7 Webkinz, and this is one of them. We both love playing on it and I think it's excellent! Whoever thought of Webkinz (Ganz) is really smart because they must be making a ton of money! Now there are even fabric clothes for your Webkinz and lip gloss (for a person.) We have to get on Webkinz World in the morning before school to get our daily stuff done like Employment Office, Curio Shop and Charm Forest. But I have to admit, it does get addictive. We're asking our mom to bring her laptop home from work every day just to play on Webkinz World because our computer is TOO slow! We have fun making KinzCash and we have a GRAND total of 32,000 KinzCash! Our username is CutieCakes449 so if you would like to become friends with us, you can just add us to your friends list and we will say YES to your invitation. There are A TON of games to play on Webkinz World and so many cute new Webkinz like the Seal, the Yellow Lab and the Brown Arabian Horse! Anyone who wants a Webkinz, beg your parents to buy you one today!
  
  :D ;)
  
  
• Family Fun in a cute package!
  By A2GSWWG8HQTG5P on 2007-03-08
  This little Chihuahua Webkinz has sparked a family game in our home. Even our 3 year old is learning how to use the computer with the delight of the Webkinz World. We now own 8 Webkinz, and we've given 4 away as gifts as well. Webkinz is a way for kids and parents to connect with each other, for kids to learn how to navigate the internet (SAFELY!!!) and "teach" Moms how to use the computer. Whoever came up with Webkinz is a genious...or a really big kid at heart!

• Great product, cute dog
  By A1Z2G1GCTAQMGN on 2007-07-12
  This is one of my first webkinz purchase. I bought this dog for my 5 year old son because he says it reminds him of a dog we once had and a Yorkie for my 9 year old daughter because it looks like a girlie dog. These webkinz are so cute. I didn't know much about them except that I should get them for my kids. I do not regret it at all. As I registered the chihuahua for my son tonight and watching the tutorials as to what webkins were all about, I'm thinking of purchasing one for myself. hmmm... maybe the monkey. I highly recommend it to everyone. It is both fun and educational!!!
  
  
• Great choice for your grammar school child
  By A6POYW0X71DM0 on 2007-09-22
  Great item and the subscription is to webkinz is worth the price my kids play forever on the site. Great toy for your grammar school child.
  
  
• Love this little guy
  By A18C26EST7COS0 on 2008-01-10
  I got 2 Webkinz for Christmas, and I love playing with them. The website at times is very slow and is down for very long peiords of time, but I like it. The quiz questions are fun.
  
  
• Webkinz Chihuahua
  By A1GOYHTTXVCK5I on 2008-01-30
  The item is a real Webkinz, new tags and all. I purchased it as an addition to my collection, I am trying to get the very first ones made and especially looking for those without the Magic "W". I believe there are other ways for a child to be educated and entertained. A short period of time with a Webkinz on a computor might be better used as a reward for other responsibilites that have been well done by a child.
  
  
• Thank you

• Stuffed amimal, computerized/registered toy
  By A3A0UMWEMH8ID7 on 2007-07-14
  My niece is having a lot of fun with this webkin online as well as her brother with his. Their cousins hacve chows and they love then and her brother got one in Virginia so I wanted to get her one. She loves hers.
  
  
• Chihuhua
  By A3LL9CWGFHCCOQ on 2007-12-17
  I bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. The chihuhua ia so cute and adorable. My daughter is definitely hooked on Webkinz!
  
  
• Never seen my daughter so happy!
  By A36QEBXWS1WR6C on 2007-12-26
  My daughter asked for this for Christmas, and when she saw it sitting under the tree she was beaming! Out of everything, this was her favorite toy! She really enjoys getting online and creating the room, playing the games, and signing her Webkinz up for "classes" and such. This was the best investment I could have possibly made for my 7 year old daughter!
  
  
• Webizfun
  By A3TTUEYOQNDQ1G on 2007-12-26
  My niece was thrilled to receive this on Christmas morning. She rushed to get online to register her pet but the webkinz site was down. I guess because of way too much traffic. She was not deterred and got to it later.
  
  The animal was cute, furry and pulled on the heartstrings of the young ones. What more do you really want from a toy. The virtual reality is good only if the child participates actively. If they are not so inclinded then the toy is just a cute stuffed animal. Have fun!
  
  
• great
  By A2PWBEENSSG7JI on 2007-12-28
  The webkinz toy was a good purchase. I bought it for my 11 year old granddaughter. The toy itsself doesn't get much action, but the web site the the toy let's you go to is almost used daily. She loves playing on this web site.

• Webkinz Chihuahua
  By A39RZVKMOB19M3 on 2008-01-03
  I bought this for my 11 year old daughter and she totally loves it. This is her first webkinz and she loves dogs and thinks "she" is really cute. Many of her friends play on webkinz and it's fun and safe computer time for her.
  
  
• Webkinz
  By A2U0JV8L2DWJIR on 2008-01-10
  My 3 (almost 4 year old) has loved Webkinz. It was her first...and now we have 4 since Christmas. I help her out a little on the computer. But she can do most tasks by herself...and has even spent hours just playing with the actual stuffed animals.
  
  
• A beloved toy
  By A46GTFUO3S5CI on 2008-02-18
  Whether or not you think the Webkinz online fun is educational or not, this little toy is a beloved part of our house. One that my daughter will remember when she is older. We all had those toys when we were young and no one really paid attention to whether is was "teaching us anything". They are well made toys and the online fun is just that...fun. I think that is the purpose of a toy.
  
  
• The first Chihuahua I've ever met that I liked.
  By A11ED8O95W2103 on 2008-04-22
  First of all, it's very cute, and my five year old boy is in love with it, and the idea of selling cute stuffed animals that have a second life in a web world for kids is brilliant. But, know what you are getting into when you by one of these.
  
  And before I continue, I just want to say that this is our second Webkinz toy. The actual plush Chihuahua toy is the same size as the others, but the Webkinz "live" version is significantly smaller than the first Webkinz we bought. Even in magnification mode, it's hard to see the features in detail.
  
  First, you'll of course have to get the pet "adopted" on the Webkinz web site. Then, you'll have to study the online user manual for the Webkinz web site because unless your child has a certain reading ability, maybe fourth grade, they won't be able to read it all by themselves.
  
  Then of course, you'll have to teach your child what you learned. You might be with your child for a few hours at this site while you both learn your way around. With a five year old it is going to take a while. Of course, you may view it as a bonding experience, so it's not all bad, but there is a time commitment you make when you get one of these.
  
  Supposedly the age range for Webkinz begins at five, but the skill required to earn enough "Kinz Cash" is beyond most five year olds. So, if your child is very young you'll likely have to sit with him or her at the computer just to navigate various activities on the site, and then go in after your kids are alseep and make more "Kinz Cash" for them yourself. (I just wonder how many thousands of parents there are across the country pounding through quizzes designed for children because these are by far the fastest way to make money for their children to spend in the virtual world of their kid's Webkinz critter.)
  
  Finally, your pet's life is one year on the site unless you buy more Webkinz toys or buy a renewal of your pet at the end of one year. They want to hook you into spending more money. I'm glad these cute little things don't cost too much.
  
  So, now you have an idea of what you are committing to when you buy one of these toys. Good luck!

• Sammy's Surprise
  By AVK0V0HXWMMDC on 2008-08-02
  I purchased five webkinz for my 10 year old grandson, and he loves not only the stuffed pets, but also going to the webkinz website and taking care of the pets and also playing the games. As far as I can see it is good clean fun for children.
