You will find the hot new WebKinz plush dolls for your kids. The toys are similar to many other small soft toys, however they come with a special code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" website to "adopt" a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction.

When a user adopts their first Webkinz pet, they are given basic items such as a room, a welcome balloon, a food item, a piece of furniture for their pet, and 2000 in Kinzcash. Kinzcash is the Webkinz World version of currency. Each pet has levels of happiness, health, and hunger that decrease as time is spent with that Webkinz. They can be increased by feeding, playing with, exercising, and bathing the pet.

Much of the gameplay involves the making and spending of Kinzcash. Earning Kinzcash involves playing multiple games, including quizzes and arcade games. This virtual currency can then be used to purchase items for the virtual pet.

The online game is free to use for one year, then a person must purchase another toy to continue playing. There is a grace period of 14 days where users can still access their account after which their account will be deactivated. Members then have a minimum of 30 days to renew their account before deletion. Adopting a new pet will give the user another year of access. Recently, this expiration has been frozen until Webkinz are more widely available.

Webkinz Day marks the aniversary of Webkinz' creation in 2005. In celebration, users receive a cake with a number 1 or 2 on top, depending on what aniversary it is, a Webkinz pet portrait, which shows all the Webkinz that are currently available in Webkinz World, and a trophy, which is shaped like a globe and, once again, either has a 1 or 2 displayed. Another activity that takes place that day, is the spinning of the Super Wheel. Users can win big cash prizes, rare items, exclusive items, or some regular items, which usually have a high cost.
