Toys and Games Reviews of Webkinz Chihuahua
Customer Review: not as much fun as it claims to be
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: I Love Webkinz!

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 ;)
Customer Review: My 6yr old loves it (and the website)!
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Huge webkinz fan
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: 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!! :-)
