Sparky’s Job
Hey, it’s me, Sparky! I just got back from another day helping out my Uncle in the Curio Shop. You know, at the beginning of the summer, I was really down on the idea of working in Uncle Sparky’s shop two days a week. I mean, summer’s all about having fun, right? But guess what? Two days a week isn’t that hard at all! I still had tons of time to hang out with my friends (there were even a few days when I was bored, with nothing to do.) I’ve been visiting a lot with Stoogles because he broke his flipper, and swimming in Nibbles’ new pool with Roberta and Molly. I’ve actually had a really great summer so far. But you know the very best part? I made a LOAD of KinzCash! Working two days a week really adds up. I’m just not sure what I should do with it all. There are some really cool things in the Curio Shop I’ve had my eye on. I could also really use a new skateboard, but Roberta says I should save the money. What do you think?

Nibbles’ Realization
Have you ever felt like a total fool? Because if you have, then you know exactly how I am feeling right now. I am so embarrassed I almost can’t even say what happened to me today. I was over at the Arcade to meet Roberta and we were getting a drink from the Arcade cafeteria when I saw Purr-cilla, Penelope and Janice sitting at a table. I was walking over to see them when I noticed that my shoe was untied and I bent down to tie it right next to a big plant near their table. I guess they didn’t see me because I overheard their conversation and I still can’t believe what I heard. Janice was asking if they were going to go swimming later and Purr-cilla said “Yeah, I guess it’s hot enough to put up with Nibbles for an hour or two.” I couldn’t believe it. Penelope actually jumped in and said that she liked hanging out with me, and Janice said yeah, she felt kind of bad about pretending not to be home when I came over the other day. But Purr-cilla told them to get over it – that I was always talking about … Read more
Wait To Transfer Your Jumbleberries!
WAIT!! Too many Jumbleberries are jumbling about and being dropped between Webkinz Friends and Webkinz World! Alyssa has dispatched a team of fairies to go fetch the berries that have been left behind, but each one has to be picked up individually- so she says it’s going to take a little time! To help Alyssa’s clean up effort, don’t transfer ANY berries from Webkinz Friends to Webkinz World until Wednesday August 1st or they may get dropped too! Don’t make any extra work for Alyssa, just hold off on moving over those berries! UPDATE: The issue reported was related to transferring prizes from Webkinz Friends to Webkinz World. The berries you win on Webkinz Newz were not affected. Good news: you won’t have to wait until next year to collect more berries from Webkinz Newz — we’ll be offering them from time to time throughout the year!
Two Sweet Marshmallow Recipes
Everyone has had a great time collecting Marshmallows this summer! Here are two terrific Marshmallow recipes you can make for yourself (or a friend)! Marshmallow Pretzel Wands What you need: 6 large marshmallows, ½ cup white chocolate chips, 6 large pretzel sticks, colored sugar or sprinkles, waxed paper, grown up assistant What you do: Have your adult assistant help you melt the white chocolate chips (you can do this in the microwave. Just tell your adult assistant to check them every 15 seconds or so to see how they’re doing and give them a stir). Put a piece of waxed paper onto a plate or cookie sheet. Stick the pretzel stick into your large marshmallow. Dip the top of the marshmallow into the melted chocolate. Dip the melted chocolate covered marshmallow into the sprinkles. Put the marshmallow pretzel wands onto the waxed paper and wait for the chocolate to firm up. Chocolate Bark What you need: 1 cup chocolate chips, ¼ cup chopped almonds or peanuts (or shredded sweetened coconut, or rice cereal pieces or nothing at all!), ½ cup mini marshmallows, grown up assistant, bowl, waxed paper What you do: … Read more
A Postcard from Plumpy
Dear Nibbles, How is your summer going? I’m sorry I haven’t called in a few days – I’ve been SO busy touring Webkinz World. Charles and I are in the east right now and it’s just beautiful. I LOVE the warm weather and the beach! He thinks we should stay for at least a few more days, and I have to agree. I can’t wait to see the rest of Webkinz World, of course, but who can turn down the beach? I hope you’re less bored than you were before! Try to visit Roberta or Molly or Stoogles or Sparky. And what about Laurabeard? I just don’t want to think of you at home by yourself, having a terrible summer. So try and get out there and have a good time! I’m having a blast and you should be too! Love, Plumpy
A Surprise for Molly
Well, I had just about the worst afternoon. Roberta and Nibbles and I looked all over Kinzville for Millie and there was no sign of her anywhere. Roberta and Nibbles were being so nice and telling me it was going to be okay, but I could tell they were really worried about Millie. Then, as we were walking into my backyard, we heard a voice coming from somewhere above us. We all stopped to listen. It sounded like Millie and it was coming from the tree house! I raced up the tree house ladder and peeked inside and there was Millie, sitting in a circle with her dolls and pouring them each a cup of tea from her toy teapot! I practically screamed “Millie!” at her in relief, and she just looked over as if nothing had happened and said “Oh, hi Molly!” “Where have you been?” I cried, and suddenly she seemed to recall that she was mad at me. Her face twisted into a grimace, she crossed her arms, turned her back on me and stated “This is my new home and you’re not welcome here.” I didn’t care if she was giving me the cold shoulder or … Read more
Molly’s Crisis
This is awful! I can’t believe that Millie actually ran away from home! Just because I tried to make her eat her carrots! I called Roberta and Nibbles and they are on their way over to help me try to find her. I feel sick – I never should have left her alone in her room when she was so upset, but how could I know she would run away? Roberta said that when they get here we are going to split up and go looking in all of Millie’s favorite places. But I’m not sure – maybe someone should stay here just in case Millie decides to come back? What if she never comes back? What will my parents do? No! That’s not going to happen, right? We’re going to find her! Right? Oh, this is just the worst thing that ever happened to me!
A Message from Millie
Oh no, oh no, oh no!!! This is not happening! Today my mother decided to use one of the babysitting coupons that I gave her for Mother’s Day so she could do some shopping and have lunch with Ms. Cowoline at Le Snout. We spent the morning playing checkers and coloring in Millie’s coloring books. It was all going just fine until lunchtime when I told Millie that she couldn’t have any ice cream until she finished her carrot sticks. I don’t know what the problem was because my mother does that all the time and Millie just eats the carrots. But for some reason when I told her to eat them she just folded her arms and said ‘no!’ I said fine and put away the ice cream and next thing I know she was having a full-out tantrum! I dragged her into her room and said she could come out when she calmed down. She stayed in there for a long time so I just read my book in my room. After a while I decided to check in on her and when I walked into the room, she was gone! She … Read more
