Zingoz Celebration – Last Day
Today’s the last day of the Zingoz Celebration! We’ve been celebrating Wacky all week — how many Zingoz plushies and trophies do you have? If you haven’t participated yet, the celebration lasts until 11:59pm tonight – so start whacking Wacky and watching for that Zingoz flying by!
NEW Features in Webkinz Jr.!
There are some great new features in Webkinz Jr.! Now you can visit the park and play some tag with your pet, go to the Playhouse and check out “Flora’s Flower Shop”, our brand new game, and then visit the W Shop to pick up the sailboat toy to play with in your playroom! If your pet gets sick, there are now several different activities your child might get to play at the Clinic. You never know exactly what Dr. Paws will need help with! Finally, you’ll also notice new icons at the top of the screen when you start an activity. These icons are meant to let you, the parent, know exactly what skill your child is practicing when they play an activity. When you adjust your child’s levels through the Parent’s Area or Options feature in the site, you’ll know exactly which level to adjust to make an activity easier or more difficult. We hope you and your child enjoy these new additions!
Peridot Dog in Action
The Peridot Dog is this August’s Birthstone pet! The Peridot Dog will be available at the Ganz eStore every day in August, and comes with Gemstone Scones, a Peridot Coffee Table, a Peridot Side Table and a Peridot Table Lamp. Watch the video below to see the Peridot Dog in action!
