Campkinz Room Challenge
Campkinz Room Design Challenge Hailey here! So I am thinking about maybe working with a new designer since Elwin is gone. I’ve been talking with Wiggles Pig about the possibility of the two of us collaborating on some projects. I also had an application for a summer intern job from a surprisingly young applicant – Plumpy asked me if I would consider letting Nibbles help out around the office while she’s off school. Apparently Nibbles has always had a passion for designing in her own room and Plumpy thought it would be good for her to have something to occupy her while she gets used to the fact that her newlywed big sis wouldn’t be around so much. I could certainly use some help keeping this place in order since I’m on my own now so I thought it was a great idea. I also thought it might be fun to see how my style meshes with both Wiggles and Nibbles by setting us all a design challenge: we are each going to design a Campkinz-themed room! We each started with the same room with Campkinz Flooring and Wallpaper. You can let me know what you think of each design. … Read more
Fun from Science Camp!
Dear Mom, I know that I said I didn’t want to go when you first mentioned it but I am sure glad I did because Booger and I are having a great time at Science Camp! It’s cool having a friend from home to hang out with while I’m here and Booger knows all about science so he helps me out with our experiments. We just finished a project today that was so much fun! We made a volcano! You know when you mix baking soda and vinegar and you get this really wild reaction? Well, the counselors challenged us to come up with the most realistic looking volcano. Both the volcano and the lava were supposed to look real so Booger and I spent hours building our mountain out of paper maché and then we painted. Booger is all about research so he downloaded lots and lots of pictures of real volcanoes and I added the detail to ours really carefully with a tiny paintbrush. Then, the really hard part was coming up with the right mixture for the lava that would look like real lava. Booger had the idea to mix equal parts of white glue and water … Read more

Salley’s Summer
 Dear Stoogles, I’m writing to you from the train. As you know, I’m on my way to see my dad. I’m pretty excited – he said we’ll do lots of fun stuff while I’m visiting. My mom said she’d miss me a ton, but she told me to have a great time and to send her lots of emails. I hope your summer is going well – I know you have big plans this year, and I can’t wait to hear about how things are going! Have fun! Your BFF, Salley
Cowabelle’s Awesome Summer
 Dear Roberta, Wow, what a summer! It’s only the sixth of July and already I feel like I’ve been on vacation for, like, EVER! My days have been insanely busy. I know I was pretty disappointed for not winning Kinzville Sings, but I realized something: if I had won, I wouldn’t have been able to visit Dacey this summer. And honestly? We are having THE BEST TIME! I actually got a small part in the movie – I have TWELVE lines! I’ve memorized them all already (of course) and I know I’ll do a great job. How are things back in Kinzville? I hope you’re not TOO bored. I know you’re at craft camp, so I bet you’re enjoying that. You HAVE to call me as soon as your brother or sister is born. I hope it’s a boy – you don’t want to have a sister like Millie! Anyway, I’ve gotta go – we’re about to head out for dinner again. That’s another thing: I’ve been to THE best restaurants! Call me soon and I’ll tell you more! Love, Cowabelle
Last Summer’s Design…
 ‘Tis the season for camping, right friends? Even though it’s been a tough summer for me so far, what with my brother touring and having a BLAST living life as a rock star, I’m still trying my hardest to design rooms. It hasn’t been easy. I just haven’t been very inspired. For inspiration, I decided to take a look back at last year’s cabin design that Elwin and I did. What do you think of it?  Ah, those were the good old days. I just miss Elwin so much. Maybe he’ll come home to visit soon. I sure hope so.
Roberta’s Craft: Rock Bug Collection
  We had such a great time at craft camp this morning! The counselors told us we were going to make a bug collection, and initially I was a little grossed out. When they brought out trays of rocks and acrylic paint, I realized we weren’t talking about real bugs! Here’s how to make a (fake) bug collection of your own!  What you need: Rocks in all different shapes and sizes (choose ones that remind you of insects), acrylic paint in all different colors, paint brush, craft glue, wiggle eyes, paper or plastic plate where your rocks can dry Optional: glitter, permanent marker, pipe cleaners, sequins  What you do: Decide how you want each rock to look – what bug can you make from each rock? You can glue rocks together if you like (to make something like a caterpillar). Paint each rock and let it dry. When the first coat of paint is dry, add any details on with more paint (or a permanent marker, if you’re trying to add really fine details). Add wiggle eyes. Display your bug collection for all to see!

Polly organizes a camping trip
Hi! It’s Polly Panda here and can I tell you – I had the most awesome idea! You might know that I have two little brothers, Peter and Patrick, and a little sister called Penny. In the summer they just love spending almost all their time outside, swimming, riding bikes, hiking. They are non-stop bundles of energy. Every night when my mom calls them to get ready for bed, I swear the three of them come dragging their feet and whining about having to come in. So I just thought – why come in? Why don’t we have our own little camping trip right outside in our backyard? Wouldn’t that be fun? My mom and dad said it was okay, so Penny, Peter, Patrick and I spent the whole afternoon putting up the tent. Here’s the thing – it’s SUPPOSED to take ten minutes to put up this tent. I guess the tent manufacturers never met my little brothers and sister though because that didn’t exactly go according to plan. But we finally got it up in the end. After dinner my dad set up the Marshmallow Pit from the W Shop and we all sat around it in our … Read more
Amazing Marshmallows!
Know what makes summer campfires sweeter than sweet? Marshmallows! You can collect a whole bunch of them this summer by visiting the Map of Kinzville and clicking on the tent once a day. You can also get a Marshmallow by visiting Webkinz Newz once a day and asking for Marshmallows from your friends. You’re going to LOVE the prizes you get for reaching different levels of your collection!
