Cheshire Cat

With it’s great big grin, you’ll never know what this pet is thinking but you’ll always know it’s ready to have some fun! Watch as the Enchanted Tree Perch glows and eerily sways back and forth when your pet sits on it. And when hungry, snack on some Gringer Snap Cookies.

We’ve got some exciting news! Webkinz World™ has been awarded the “Best Virtual World Site For Kids” award from About.com! Here’s what About.com had to say about our site:

Congratulations to fan favorite, Webkinz World, winner of the 2010 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Virtual World for Kids. The subscription-based website is unlocked through the purchase of a Webkinz stuffed animal. From there, kids are invited to care for their pets, play games, earn coins and decorate their own in-game homes. Webkinz World is a closed community with a nice suite of parental controls. It is highly regarded for quality entertainment and a safe environment.

We here at Ganz are very proud to receive this reward from About.com. Now in its fifth year, Webkinz World has been and continues to be a fun, child-friendly place for parents and their children to play, and we’ve got some great new features planned for this year to make Webkinz World even better!

Thanks to everyone who voted for Webkinz World; we appreciate the support, and we look forward to providing you all with more great plush pets and fun online games!

NOTE: Ganz does not own or operate About.com. If you are under the age of 13, check with a parent before continuing to the site.

From the pointed steeples that top the set’s spectacular bed to the decorative patterns etched on the set’s priceless urn, the Persian Palace theme is an exotic dream that will turn any room into a palace fit for a Sultan! This new rare Persian Palace theme will be coming to Webkinz World this week!

Our first Communal Contest has run its course. Last week, players voted to win 500 KinzCash as the prize for our first contest, and the challenge was to score a whopping 6,000,000,000 points collectively in the game. Sadly, the goal wasn’t reached. But not to worry! There’s another chance to win great prizes this week with our new Communal Contest!

We’ve been paying close attention to the challenges, and we realize we made this first challenge way too tough. We’ll be making this week’s challenge much easier, and going forward, we’re going to be carefully watching this new feature and balancing the challenges to ensure that the Communal Contest is tuned just right!

Looking to give us more feedback on the Communal Contest feature? Head over to the “Feedback Friday” post, and let your voice be heard!
