Ella’s Summertime Question
Ella McWoof here, with a question to ask some of the kids in Kinzville: what are YOU doing on your summer vacation? Sparky: Well, I WAS going to play video games and ride my bike and do whatever I wanted, but noooo. Uncle Arte says I have to help out at the Curio Shop. He also said he’d pay me, so I guess it’s not all bad. Salley: I’m going to see my dad for a few weeks! I’m pretty excited, and I have a TON of stuff planned for us to do. Cowabelle: Believe it or not, I’m going to visit my good friend Dacey Bryn on the set of her NEW movie! I cannot wait. We’re going to have the best time. Roberta: I’m sticking around Kinzville, because you never know when my mom is going to have the baby! We’ve got lots to do to get ready, so this is sure to be an exciting summer. Stoogles: My family has a ton of interesting things planned. A day at the beach, a trip to the Big City- what’s not to love about summer, right? Booger: I’m off to science camp! Alex: Me too! … Read more
Miss Daisy’s Assignment
You will not believe this! It’s almost a whole week into June and our teacher, Miss Daisy, gives us this big geography project today! We have to write about how the warmer weather of summer affects the water levels in the various regions of Webkinz World. Um, hello? Doesn’t she understand how this is supposed to work? June is supposed to be a breeze – we just hang out until the end of the school year. Nobody actually expects to do any work! Cowabelle and Roberta are actually all excited about it! What is wrong with them? They were chatting about how much fun it’s going to be and trying to decide which region of Kinzville they will cover. Now I really cannot wait until the summer holidays when I am planning to do NOTHING! (Other than some awesome fun in the sun, that is!) This is so not cool, Miss Daisy. So not cool.
Hailey and Elwin Redo the Theater Lobby
Hi readers! I guess you’ve probably heard by now that there is a pretty important event coming to town. The popular talent show, Kinzville Sings, is holding auditions at the Henrietta Hippo Theater. This is a really big deal and so the owners of the theater want to showcase their venue in the best possible light. After taking a long hard look at every room in the theater, they decided that it would really need an overhaul before it was featured on TV. That’s where we come in. Elwin and I have been commissioned to redesign the theater. We started with the lobby. The existing lobby has beautiful marble Town Hall flooring, but the Wizard Wallpaper could stand to be updated. And those counters don’t really belong in the box office of a high end theatre. We liked the leather couches though and figured we could recycle those, but just one doorway for all those people going in and out of the auditorium? Isn’t that a fire hazard? Here is the ‘after’. Elwin and I felt that the golden glow of the Galactic Wallpaper really captured the feeling of opulence we were going for. A fountain is … Read more

Stick one or two beads on top of it. 5.Use the needle-nose pliers to make a loop at the top of the flat-head pin (you can get a grown up to help with this). 6.Put the ice cream cone on a piece of string and add extra beads, if you like. 7.Tie the two … Read more
Auditions Day 2: A Surprising Voice
Hi everyone! It’s me, Cowabelle. I am pretty pumped because my audition at Kinzville Sings went really well yesterday, but today I went over to catch day 2 of the auditions and it seems like I might have some surprising competition. The auditions were going pretty well. There were some good singers and some not so good, but then Ms. Birdy’s name was called. Roberta came with me and when we heard that Ms. Birdy was auditioning we were pretty shocked. She’s not exactly your typical rock star, you know? So she comes out on stage and she kind of stumbles a bit and seems pretty nervous. The judges were being super nice to her because, really, she’s just a sweet lady and nobody was expecting too much. We all just wanted her to get through it without embarrassing herself. But then the music started and Ms. Birdy started singing and everyone just gasped! Her voice was angelic! The judges’ jaws all dropped – nobody was expecting that voice to come out of Ms. Birdy! We all just stared in amazement and when she was done Ms. Birdy got a huge standing … Read more

Something Old, Something New…
Hey Everyone! Nibbles here. Can you believe Plumpy’s wedding is coming up in only 15 days? I can’t wait to be a bridesmaid! Anyway, I was talking to Plumpy today and she realized: she needs something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue. It’s a tradition in our family! So we went through the list. First, the old: she’s going to wear my grandma’s dress, so that definitely counts. Next, something new: she has brand new earrings – whew! Something borrowed: I told Plumpy she could borrow my lucky rock. She said she’d tuck it under the sash on the dress. Finally, something blue: This one took us a minute, but then Plumpy realized: she’s the blue! So it looks like everything is all ready! I can’t wait for the big day!
First Day of Auditions
Roberta here with some good news and some bad news. So today was the first day of the auditions for Kinzville Sings. A couple of our friends were auditioning so we all went out to the auditions to watch and give them our support. Cowabelle was one of the first to get called up. I was kind of worried about her because she wants this so badly I thought she might get nervous and mess up. But Cowabelle loves performing and I guess she doesn’t let the butterflies get to her because she got up on that stage and hit a home run. She looked confident and she didn’t hit a single wrong note. I was so proud of her. But then there’s the bad news. Because not too long after Cowabelle performed, Molly was called up on stage. Molly is an okay singer too but she hasn’t done as much performing as Cowabelle and I don’t know if she just got really nervous up there in front of everybody but, well, let’s just say it was not good. She kept forgetting the lyrics and when she did remember she never … Read more
Blue Springtime Chick Contest Winners
Congratulations to Lydia, Alina, Sophey, Amber and Laura! They’ve each been sent a Secret Code for a Blue Springtime Chick. We wanted to know how the Blue Springtime Chick became blue! Read the winning entries below: The Blue Springtime Chick became blue because….. It was a foggy night at the Kettle Fields Farm and a large mother chicken had laid an egg. The egg was a medium sized egg. The farmer thought the egg looked like a store bought egg so he sent it to the local grocery store. A few hours later… Little boy Jimmy was looking for eggs to decorate for Easter. He came across a dozen of eggs. He thought that was how much he needed so he bought the carton. Little did he know, on Easter he was going to be in for a surprise. On Easter morning an egg that was painted blue was cracked open. He looked in his Easter basket and the blue chick was inside. His dad and the animal rescue center told the farmer to look more carefully around the chicken coop. And Jimmy got to keep his chick and they all lived happily ever after. – Lydia Once upon a … Read more
