Ella Interviews Hailey
Ella McWoof: Today I’m here with one of Kinzville’s most well-known designers: Hailey! Hailey: Oh, Ella! I don’t know if I’m THAT well known! Ella: According to my sources, you are! Hailey, you’ve been in the decorating biz for a few years now, am I correct? Hailey: Yes, my brother and I have both been running the Designer Elephants, our decorating business. We’re pretty happy about how popular it has become! Ella: I heard you’ve been hired by the likes of Fluffington St. Bernard – is that true? Hailey: You heard correctly! Fluffington is actually one of our best clients. And his great-aunt Meriwether, of course. Ella: What would you say has been the hardest job you’ve ever done? Hailey: Probably any job at Fluffington’s mansion. It’s just so immaculate – you want to make sure you don’t mess anything up! Ella: And what is your most favorite job? Hailey: It’s so hard to choose a favorite…but one job that sticks out in my mind was helping to redecorate Dr. Quack’s home office. It was an absolute mismatched mess when I first got there, but Elwin and I worked hard and came up with a design that really worked. And … Read more

Craft: Build your own Wacky Sculpture
We’re having so much fun playing with the new Building Kits in Webkinz World it inspired us to create some real life Building Kits of our own! Here’s how you can build your own Wacky Sculpture: What you need: -         Oven bake clay -         Acrylic paint (optional) -         Sculpting tools: toothpicks, craft stick, dull knives (with the help of an adult assistant) -         paintbrush What you do: To make Wacky, mould one piece of clay into a large teardrop shape and set it down on the wide end. You can make a small slit at the top of the teardrop shape and separate it slightly to form Wacky’s ‘hair’. To craft legs, roll some clay into a thick sausage shape and cut in half with a knife. Shape one end into a foot (no toes!) Attach each leg to the side of the base of your teardrop shape, pointing outward. To make Wacky’s arms, roll a piece of clay into a slightly thinner sausage shape and cut in half. Form one end into a mitten shaped hand. Attach the arms to the side of Wacky above the legs. Smooth over the clay where the arms and legs attach to hide … Read more
Make Your Own Smoothie Moves Game!
         Roberta here with another fun craft! This time, it’s making our very own version of the Smoothie Moves game! This is a great game you can play at a party – or the next time your friends come to visit.  What you need: Six plastic or paper cups, large piece of round cardboard (big enough to fit all the cups), craft glue, masking tape, marker, small rubber balls or pompoms  What you do: On each plastic cup, stick a piece of masking tape. On each piece of masking tape, write a number. This is what the cup is worth. Decorate the cardboard tray any way you like. Glue each cup to the round cardboard tray. When the glue is dry, practice tossing the ball or pompoms into the cups. Give each friend 3 balls or pompoms. Each ball or pompom that gets into a cup counts for the number of points written on the cup. Tally up each person’s points after their three turns. The person with the most points wins!
Play Pinky’s Big Adventure!
 Pinky is a pig on a mission: to eat as much junk food as he can while not being stung by persistent bees! Pinky can avoid being in the bees’ path, or simply don his helmet and run head-first into the bees to knock them out. He just can’t let the bees touch him if he’s not wearing the helmet! To pass a level, Pinky must eat all the junk food in the maze. Pinky earns points for eating junk food and knocking bees out when wearing his helmet. Remember: if Pinky eats a lot of junk food at once, he’ll slow down and look a bit chubby. To speed up, he can chow down on some healthy veggies…but eating vegetables means that more junk food will appear on the screen! Good luck helping Pinky!
