Hello there, it’s me again—your mayor, Dr. Quack! I’m pleased to tell you about all the new and exciting things we have planned in Webkinz Classic for the next few weeks! Let’s have a look, shall we?
- The NEW fan-designed Friendly Froggy Cottage Theme is NOW AVAILABLE in the WShop! Based on the room theme concept by player H8mouse, and with items suggested by the Webkinz fan community, this room theme is available for KinzCash on both the Webkinz Classic desktop app and the mobile app! Time to get decorating!.
- There are 3 NEW Exclusive items that you can find either in your pet adoption gift boxes, or in the Wish Factory! If you don’t find the Fairy Tale Bookshelf, Neon Ice Cream Sign, or the Rubber Ducky Car in your pet adoption gift box, you can head over to the Wish Factory and pick them up using your saved Wish Tokens! To make room for the new stock, we’ve officially retired the Bulldozer and the Running Shoe Racer.
- We’ve also added a NEW Superbed to the Superbed Gift Box. For every 10th, 15th, 20th (etc.) pet adopted, you’ll get a Superbed Gift Box. When you drag it into your pet’s room to open it, you can choose which Superbed you want to add to your collection, including the NEW Book Nook Bed! To make room, we’ve now officially retired the Big Top Circus Bed.
- We are also running another Bake Sale Stand event in the Webkinz Classic Kinzville Park starting TODAY, May 5th. The Bake Sale Stand will continue to appear whenever there are no other events on in the Kinzville Park until Tuesday, June 1st! Visit the Kinzville Park each day to look for the stand each day and if you see it, click on it to get your gift box. Inside you’ll find a random baked good which you can either feed to your pet, or you can use it in a stove recipe to create a special prize! You can find all the recipes in the Bake Sale Cookbook, available in the “Books” section of the WShop, under “Fun Stuff”.
- Our next Deluxe Day is on Sunday, May 9th! When the day arrives, just visit the Today’s Activities schedule on the Webkinz Classic desktop app to get your special prize for May: a Magic W Flowerbed! And if you missed out on April’s Green Grass Skirt due to a box glitch, we’ve added an extra one to the Today’s Activities schedule this Deluxe Day for you to click and collect!
- Don’t forget that this Sunday, May 9th is also Mother’s Day! Watch Webkinz Newz for your printable Mother’s Day card that comes with a Feature Code for a Mother’s Day Vase that can be rotated for 4 different color views! Make sure you make all the moms in your life feel special this Sunday!
- Right after Mother’s Day, we are running our Best Friends Event, from May 10th until May 28th! Collect cupcakes from Michael, Mandy, Steve, and Sally all around Webkinz Classic, and then combine them together on any stove along to create a combined cupcake that you can display in your pet’s room! We’ll be giving out a poster in a coming event to remind everyone about the recipes! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz to learn more!
- We are running another Webkinz Days of Play event from May 11th until May 19th! On each of those days, you’ll get bonus plays added to many of your favorite Magical Forest activities (available only on the Webkinz Classic desktop app)! It’s time for more magical fun in the forest!
- Our next Player Appreciation Day is on Thursday, May 20th! On that day, log in to your Webkinz Classic account on the desktop app and visit the Today’s Activities schedule to get the special prize for May: a Pink Daisy Tile Gift Box filled with 5 Pink Daisy Tiles!
- We are running a Wacky Weekend event from Friday, May 21st until Sunday, May 23rd! During those dates, look for floating Wacky Lemon Ice Pops to appear on the Webkinz Classic desktop app and the mobile app. Click on it to collect it, then feed it to your pet. There’s a chance you’ll win a Wacky Go Kart!

- In June, Deluxe Members will receive their monthly gift box containing a Deluxe Medallion Gift Box filled with pet medallions, a Tween Theme Gift Box which you can use to choose an item from the Tween room theme, a Wish Token—and of course—the month’s special clothing prize: a Neo Gothic Top Hat!
- Deluxe Member’s will receive their next monthly challenge on Tuesday, June 1st! If they complete all the tasks before the end of the month, they’ll receive a Webkinz Cafe Uniform for their pet to wear when they’re working outside their NEW Kinzville Cafe!
- REMEMBER: We are running our ALL-NEW “DIY” event in Webkinz Classic until Sunday, May 9th! You can now also pick up DIY Retro Dye from the Ganz eStore or from the WShop (for eStore Points). Combine the dye together in the Clothing Machine with DIY tickets and DIY Armchairs, Windows, and Rugs, to create a unique set of DIY Retro items!

Take care, Kinzville!
also here to mention I couldn’t buy the froggy wallpaper, such a cute theme though :D
Wait, so are you saying that you have to use estore points to by it? Noooo, I was so excited to buy things from this theme. :(
I wasn’t able to get the bulldozer at all! I feel like that was a newer item, so it seems weird to retire it.
What’s your username? Friend me @ dippyear & I have 1 extra one I’d be happy to send you.
Why does it take so long to enter tokens and use them in classic? I have a lot of tokens in my dock but it takes at least 15 seconds to deposit one and just as long to redeem them on an item.
Hi @marnabear1! I had wondered the same thing so I did a test. When I deposit tokens on my main account, it takes a full 30 seconds per token. (See, it could be even worse!) That account is the oldest, largest, and has a really full dock, and over 50 pets. When I deposit a token on a fairly new side account with only a few pets, and way less stuff, it only takes about 7 seconds. My friend’s account (as old as my main, but way smaller) takes about 10 seconds per token. My goal now is to deal with my cluttered dock and create lots of storage rooms in my WW house to see if the dock size is the deciding factor. Can you help with my research? Is your account large, medium or small? Do you keep a lot of stuff in your dock? If you find that you do something that makes the process faster, please post it all over WKN, because that would be some pretty helpful info! Good luck!
I don’t know if anyone is aware of this yet, but I can’t purchase the wallpaper for the Friendly Froggy theme in the Wshop, is anyone else having this problem?
Same problem…can see the wallpaper but the “buy” button is not available.
Same problem here. I imagine the glitz will be fixed.
Love the new Froggy Cottage theme! When will we be able to buy the wallpaper? It doesn’t appear anyone on the mobile app and in the W Shop, you can see the wallpaper, but you can’t buy it.
Did I miss a heads up on what was being retired? I would have picked up another Bulldozer! My Sneaker Car that I love just got extra special though!
I would have picked up another one of each, as well. I save my tokens so I can get the retiring items if I want them, but this time it didn’t matter. I hope they let us know what is retiring for future items.
Thank you for all of the updates Mayor Dr. Quack! There continues to be a lot of new and exciting things going on in WW! I look forward to the opportunity to try to win the new Kinzville Cafe. The new fan designed room theme, the Friendly Froggy Cottage, will be a breath of fresh air in the Wshop! Thanks H8mouse! While many players are very thankful for all the new things that you offer, we also appreciate timely updates about the items that you plan to retire as well. I am sure that there are players who would’ve stocked up on the retiring items if they had been able to do so and had known which ones were disappearing. I was contemplating the Big Top Circus Bed, and had I known, I may have gotten one. As I only have a limited number of superbed boxes, I looked through all the beds offered and prioritized the beds by which ones I would be the most crushed to miss, and made my choices that way. I’m not sure why we were not told this time, as many players were asking for the info. The bulldozer and running shoe racer will be missed as well. The new items have their charm, but we are sad to see the old ones go.
Beckinz8 I had a feeling that a new super bed retire was not mentioned in the podkinz ahead of time and that I knew the big top circus bed was on my mind, but too hesitate to get it.
I am sorry that we missed it, @threehounds. I have another suggestion for retiring items. There are certain items that state that they are animated that have not worked for years (like the super awesome time machine, or any of the clocks, which are still lovely wall art, even if they no longer work, etc.) If there is no way for them to ever be fixed, would it be possible for the team to retire those items? (with plenty of notice for collectors, of course.)
Well said, Beckinz8 – you expressed my thoughts exactly. I am puzzled and very disappointed that the WKN team chose not to reveal the retired items as has been done before. Like you, I looked at all the beds and exclusives that are “must haves” for me and did some shopping. I never would have guessed the bulldozer would be gone – it goes so well with the newer Cement Mixer and the Construction Plans Super Bed. Fortunately, I have a couple, but it will be missed.
the froggy wallpaper isn’t purchasable right now..
Was able to get all of the furniture and the floor. However, there is no way to purchase the wallpaper. Hope this gets fixed soon. My room is just waiting for this last piece to be complete
Hi @tuxkitty1, and everyone else who is excitedly awaiting the release of the new wallpaper to go with this theme. While we wait, the powder blue wall paint works nicely and can hold us over until the team gets this straightened out. The light coral wall paint can also fit for those who like that color scheme. I know how eager we all get about putting together a new room when we finally get a new theme, so give that a try until the theme wallpaper is available. :-)
The Friendly Froggy Wallpaper does not have the button on it to buy it in the W Shop.
