Pink Hopscotch
Roberta here with a great game to play with your friends! It’s called ‘Pink hopscotch’ and it’s super easy! What you need: Pink chalk, blue chalk, sidewalk, friends, rock What you do: Using the blue chalk, draw a hopscotch grid on the sidewalk. Make lots of different squares – and really be creative in your design! Number each square with the blue chalk. Have your friends stand at the end of the hopscotch. The first person throws the rock and sees where it lands. That person hops all the way to the square and then, in the pink chalk, writes his or her initials. Everyone keeps doing this until the whole hopscotch board is filled with initials. The tricky part is that when someone else has claimed a square, you can’t jump on it! So if Cowabelle, Salley and I were playing, the only squares I could hop on would be ones without an initial and ones with RR (Roberta Rabbit) on them! When all the squares had initials, I could only hop on the RR squares! The first person to get through the whole grid without … Read more
Sparky’s Game: Pink Tag
Sparky here with a pretty awesome game idea (I’m in charge of making sure all the younger Webkinz have something to do during the Pink Party). We’re going to play pink tag. How do you play? Easy! You choose one person to be it. Everyone else runs away and they can only take a break in one of three pink safe zones (three trees with pink hearts attached to them). In order to be ‘safe’ from ‘It’, the person has to have one hand on the tree. Only one person can touch one tree at a time and they can only stay there for ten seconds- and then they have to run again. You keep playing until everyone is tired. What do you think? I hope it keeps the little Webkinz busy!
Pretty Pink Take Home Bags
Hey everyone! Cowabelle here with some super ideas for pink-themed take home bags. Some people call them treat bags, some people call them loot bags – whatever you call them, they’re awesome! I volunteered to put the treat bags together for our Pink Party. My BFF Roberta is going to help me out ( yay!). Here’s what we’re putting in the bags: Pink jellybeans – We’ve got some in strawberry, cream soda and bubblegum. Pink Ribbon Pink pot and a packet of pretty pink aster seeds Pink ‘Thank You!’ card Pink heart stickers Pink lollipop I think it’s maybe the best treat bag I’ve ever made…and I’ve made a lot! I really hope everyone likes them. Do you have any suggestions for other things we could add to make our treat bags even better?

Back to School Contest Winners
Congratulations to Haley, Jack, Courtney, Belle and Sara. They’ve each won an eStore exclusive Floating School Desk. We wanted to hear about your best day at school, ever. Read the winning entries below: The best day of school for me was this one day when all my teachers planned a special day for all of the kids in my grade. All we did that day was play games, watch movies, and hang out with friends. Our teachers didn’t even give us homework!!! Our teachers had some fun too! While we watched movies, they went into another classroom and just talked. Then after the movies, it was lunch time so the teachers let all of the students eat lunch in the classroom with all of our friends. Also, since it was a very hot day out, we all went outside, and everybody got to drink a nice, cold glass of lemonade. After the day ended, as soon as we left the classroom, we all got to have ice cream sundaes. We got to make them ourselves!! That day was the best school day ever! I will never forget it!! – Haley The best day ever in school for me was going … Read more
Nibbles Catches a Cold
Ugggggh! It’s me, Nibbles. Or should I say ‘Sniffles?’ The other day on my way home, it started pouring down with rain and I had left my jacket in my locker at school. I got soaked! As soon as I got home, Plumpy ran me a hot bath and I got out of my wet clothes, but when I woke up the next morning I was all stuffed up. Now I’m lying in bed, eating chicken soup, and going through about a million tissues a day. I feel awful. My head hurts and my nose is running like a faucet. It wouldn’t be so bad, but Molly’s Pink Party is in two days! What if I’m not better by then? I told Plumpy that I was going to the party no matter what, but she said that if I’m still sick, that wouldn’t be fair to everyone else because I could pass my germs onto them. I guess she has a point, but – IT’S NOT FAIR! Oh, I really hope I’m feeling better by then. Plumpy said all I can do is drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. I’ve gotta go. I think I’ll … Read more

Summer Vacation Contest Winners
Congratulations to Peyton, Zane, Mayowa, Pooja and Rebekah! They’ve each been awarded an eStore exclusive Beat the Heat Hammock. We wanted to know where the best place to go on vacation was. Read the winning entries below: My best summer vacation would be a few weeks in Great Britain. It is my dream to visit England. England has old houses and palaces and beautifully sculptured gardens. It also has Queen Elizabeth who I might be lucky and see in person. England has old towers, old bridges, old cobble stone streets, Big Ben and other old, old things. I would feel like I was in one of the classic novels like Wuthering Heights or The Tale of Two Cities. England has some interesting foods. I could have some real Fish and Chips. England would definitely be educational and in England I would feel comfortable because English is spoken there. So, I would be able to read and write and understand everything. Wish I was there. That is my dream. – Peyton The best summer vacation ever would be a week trip around the world with all my Webkinz. We would go to Europe, Australia, Antarctica, China, Japan, Canada, and Hawaii.
