All About Webkinz

Webkinz are stuffed animals that were originally released by the Ganz company on April 29,

2005. The toys are similar to many other small plush toys, however they come with a special

code on their labels that allows access to the "Webkinz World" which is a website to own a

virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction. There are also smaller, less expensive

versions of the toys called Lil' Kinz. The More Webkinz you buy the more money, rooms and

items you get. In June 2008, Webkinz has also opened its own eStore.
