If you are parent of a preschooler you might already have encountered the cute plush toys called Webkinz.
When I explored the toy bestseller list on Amazon.com I found several spots including 2nd and 3rd taken by this cuddly looking plush animals. After doing some research I found out why 'Web' is part of the Webkinz name.
Webkinz combine the addictiveness of Tamagotchis with the lovable properties of a plush animal. Kids get a secret code with the plush toy that lets them adopt a virtual pet online.
Kids can communicate with their virtual alter ego of the plush toy and decorate a room for it. Recently the service also added a chat room for kids.
Apparently the Webkinz is so addictive that parents struggle keeping the kids away from the Internet.
Webkinz is owned by GANZ, a company that is in business since 50 years.
See the Webkinz site for details on the online part of Webkinz. Shop for the various Webkinz plush toys on Amazon.com.

These toys are truly irresistible, as an adult I too am hooked. As an avid toy collector, I recently found a site that is just as much fun but created only for girls. The guy that created beanie babies, created a new site called TyGirlz, I think by Christmas these dolls could be Webkinz biggest competition. Its the same concept and these dolls are sure to be collectors items like beanies. Take a look at http://www.tygirlz.com, and you'll be hooked forever. I sure am!!
