WEBKINZ UPDATE ALERT – For an even more recent update – check out my 2017 post – Webkinz Stuffed Animals and Webkinz World Fun Activities For Grandparents and Grandchildren

Webkinz Stuffed Animals Series

Webkinz stuffed and virtual animals are big favorites with all of my grandkids, and probably with many of your grandchildren as well! They’re delightful educational activities for grandparents and grandchildren in many ways. Then again, playing with the Webkinz online world is lots of fun but it can also be a bit of a challenge. Especially for all of us busy baby boomers in the Sandwich Generation as we are dealing with the myriad of issues involved in caring for the elderly parents in our family and helping with the grandchildren. That’s why I wrote the 11-part series, Webkinz Stuffed and Virtual Animals – Activities for Grandparents and Their Grandchildren!

Webkinz Stuffed Animals Update

GUESS WHAT! Webkinz made a few changes. So here I am to give you the updates I’ve spotted, just in time for y’all to have fun building sweet family memories while enjoying educational activities for grandparents and grandchildren with those cute Webkinz stuffed animals they already have OR that they receive over the Christmas holidays! 🙂

Daily Kinzcare

The first time you log on for the day, it now shows the DAILY KINZCARE right away as you open the page. Be sure to tell your grandkids to click on the correct day of the week as this is one of the easiest “how to earn money” tips on Webkinz. 🙂 It’s also a great way to help younger grandkids learn the days of the week. Plus they usually get a food item for their pet, which saves them money as well. Once they click on the right day, it probably won’t show up the rest of the day, even if they re-log on later.

Webkinz World Menus

They’ve re-designed some of the menus. To get to the daily activities and earn money, you still click on THINGS TO DO, but then you have to click on MAP OF KINZVILLE. (Sometimes you will also see TODAY’s ACTIVITIES in the top left of the screen, but not always so I am just teaching my grandkids to go straight for the map. Much easier.) Once the map shows up, you can click on TODAY’s ACTIVITIES – #1 on the picture below) to do most of the daily activities. The GEM HUNT is not there anymore, however. For that, you click on CURIO SHOP on the map (#2). It will then take you to the shop where they can enjoy the GEM HUNT.

Amazin’ Hamsters and More

/p>
There are a few other changes, but I don’t think any are related to my past articles. My grandkids are quite excited about some of the new options such as the “Unlocking the Key” projects (#3 on the above picture) and Amazin’ Hamsters (we think it was where #4 is pointing, but it’s disappeared for the moment 🙂 ). That did require a download each time we used it so you would have to help them with that. It is brand new, so perhaps they are working out the kinks? 🙂

Winter Educational Activities for Grandparents and Grandchildren

If you spot any other changes, let me know and I’ll post the updates. In the meantime, have plenty of winter fun and educational activities for grandparents and grandchildren with their cute Webkinzed stuffed and virtual anaimals. We’re using a couple of the games as fun with phonics resources. Combining fun and educational is always a win-win for our grandkids and for us!
