Webkinz

Children in this era are getting a head’s up when it comes to technology. Webkinz offers kids and adults the chance for online learning. These small toys have a virtual version of their stuffed pet in which they must take care of online. Kinzcash is given to take care of their pets as a way to teach responsibility and use of currency. The stats for the Webkinz can be raised by feeding, playing, bathing, and exercising the virtual pet. The media requires a lot of reading which in turn provides kids with a learning experience. My 7 year old nephew has more computer knowledge already than most kids that I know!

Well, that beats Chutes and Ladders uh? Give it a try.
