WEBKINZ - Tree Frog Reviews

• Webkinz website- a hidden gambling site for kids!!

  I just got webkinz for my kid last week. He loves his puppy webkinz very much. However, this website keeps all kids hooked on. What bothers me the most is some pop-up games that allure him to play to keep coming back webkinz site daily in order to earn kinz kash (virtual money of this website). One of the gimmick that this website entices your kid addicts to them is similar to gambling websites, and they really do have a game that no different from the slot machine!! This makes my jaw drop seeing what he is playing!! I couldn't believe it!! Beware your kid might be learning how to play a slot machine at the very early age when you let them enter webkinz website unsupervised!! My wife need to pull him out and tell him that this is not good for kid to play something like a slot machine or gambling-like games, even though it's originate from the webkinz website. Please make sure that parents always have to supervise your kids when you let play webkinz online. This website is not 100% safe for kids. They seem to have a hidden agenda in alluring your kids to become addicted to their games and their sites in order to make sure that your kids will keep their membership once their first yr member expires. Some (or Most) of their games are non-educating games and really not much different from the gambling websites. This webkinz website is not safe for kids. Beware of addiction, and crave for earning more kinz kash which makes it indifferent from gambling websites!
  
  
  

• webkinz = stuffed animal + screen time

  Overall a cute concept. If you are not familiar with it, here's a run-down
  
  Webkinz stuffed animals come with a code that allows the user to register the "pet" on a website. Your child can name the pet, decide it's gender, and then log on to play with it. So, you are not just buying the stuffed animal, you are also buying access to a website that gives you virtual money to buy pet supplies and virtual locations in which you can feed, groom, and entertain your pet. I am assuming while you do this the "real" stuffed animal sits alone in another room. The virtual animal has a meter that lets you know how happy and well-fed it is. If you neglect it, it will suffer (or at least become less happy).
  
  I suppose some could argue this is a good way to teach children about the responsibility of pets or to let them feel as if they have a real pet (but without the mess).
  
  Consumers who object to excess use of video games and tv, probably should opt for a traditional stuffed animal that does not come with a virtual counterpart that requires the use of a computer.

  My son loves his webkinz tree frog. The website is fun too. Very creative. Learning and creativity can be fun. Highly recommended. One warning...make sure your camera and microphone are disabled.

  Webkinz Tree Frog mailed to grandson who danced around his kitchen when he received it. "Hopper" is receiving much love and Grandma is a hero. Have been unable to find the Webkins Tree Frog in the Hartford, Ct area.. Thank heavens for Amazon.Com Delivery was quick and nicely packaged. Most especially it was full sized as pictured. Have heard complaints from others who ordered on the web (not Amazon.Com) to find ordered Webkinz were the smaller ones and had not been listed as such. Conclusion: Happy with Tree Frog Webkins, Happy with Amazon.Com.
  
  
  
• Webkinz are a hit
  By A2JYODLT9XBU4U on 2007-05-07
  I bought this for my 4 year old son b/c all of his friends had Webkinz. I'm lucky that I bought it back in March to be able to give it to him for Easter b/c they were sold out in all of the nearby stores. It is really cool to be able to access the website and earn KinzCash throught games and quizzes. He really loves it as a stuffed animal, too. The red-eyed tree frog is very cute and soft. Definitely one of my best purchases. My son gives it 2 thumbs up.

  I bought this for my son thinking it was just another game site on the internet but there are educational games as well as fun games. He is having a great time learning and playing.

  You can not see it but this guy has glitter spots on his belly. Nothing too bright or outstanding but enough to give him some jazz. These guys are well made. They use the most interesting materials to make the animals.
  
  You also get a code for the website which is kind of like Neopets but better. My niece and my daughter both have a great time playing online and in real life with their furry friends. They each have this guy plus two others.

  Wouldnt recommend for kids who do not know how to use the computer. The web site is the best. Very educational, using math, spelling, and all sorts of interesting games. Best part is learning the value of money and what things cost. I thought the computer prices were expensive but these toys are impossible to find locally.
