Baby Showcase #185

Happy Thursday!

We are halfway through July and have more adorable babies to show off.
 
 

First up is this really cool winged Twenty Year Tiger. It has the pretty pink dragon wings , which goes perfectly with the blue body color and rainbow ear flair. This cutie has leopard spots on the back instead of the regular stripes, but also has an adorable blue cupcake pet patch from a Cocker Spaniel. A wonderful combination of traits!
 
 


Boulder Copperworld has another gorgeous pet here in this delightful Cocker Spaniel, featuring an eye patch/stripe and red tulip pet patch from a Holland Lop. Other than a bit of rainbow leg flair, this is a very natural looking pet, so I’m sure Mandy would be a big fan!
 
 


We haven’t seen Disco Rhinos in a hot minute and this one is incredible. I love the back pattern and the pink sparkly roller skates. This is just a pretty opalescent body color, too. The disco wave chest pattern is great and the crazy eyes really pick up the colors of the rainbow horn. Beautiful!
 
 


I thought this common Twenty Year Tiger featuring Orange Tabby stripes was just adorable! The glittering gold ears from the tabby goes really well with this color combo, too. This baby is peacheriffic!
 
 


Not to be left out, we also have an Orange Tabby with Twenty Year Tiger features, namely the head and leg stripes. It also has a Holland Lop back patch and the most beautiful silver eyes. The blue paw pet patch is a nice contrast to the yellow orange body color — a subtle, but lovely pet!
 
 

We’ve got another Twenty Year Tiger with Orange Tabby traits — this time it’s the work of art highlights and eye patches. The tiger almost looks watermarked with those back patches and the face is very unique. And of course, who can resist a little rainbow tail?
 
 


Last but not least is this adorable green sloth. It’s green, and I can’t help myself. This baby has the River Otter’s soulful dark eyes and playful rock juggling pet patch and features some lovely zebra stripes on the back. What can I say? I love green pets.
 
 

That’s it for this week. Have you sparked something recently? Let us know in the comments below!

Webkinz Trivia: Fun Facts About Sock Pets!

 

 

In case you hadn’t already guessed, the VERY first Webkinz Sock pet ever to be released was the virtual Sock Monkey! The Sock Monkey was released in 2010.

 

But did you know that the Sock Monkey could’ve looked quite different? Based on traditional sock monkeys, the original concept art for the Sock Monkey actually had buttons for eyes!

 

 

It was decided that giving the Sock Monkey proper eyes would give the pet more personality and the design was revised.

 

 
The original design also had a different color. The first mock-up of the Sock Monkey was a brown sock with cream and red accents.

 

 
In the end, the color of this virtual pet was changed to grey and we think it’s absolutely adorable.

 

 
So adorable in fact, that a few years later, in 2014, a plush version of the Sock Monkey was released.

 

 
To avoid any confusion the plush was named the Knit Sock Monkey and it was joined that same year by the plush Knit Sock Dog!

 

 
Webkinz Classic continues to add virtual pets to its family of cute Sock pets. Which brings us to…

 

 

Trivia Question:

Which of these Webkinz Classic Sock pets was released first?

A) Cow
B) Elephant
C) Bear
D) Pig

Season 35 Guide – Week 2

Summer Lemonade is our 35th Season! Here are some more details, tips and tricks for the week 2 tasks. Click here for the daily and week 1 tasks.
 

 

Week 2

 

  • Harvest 10 crops from the Farmer’s Plot
  • Have a meal outdoors. Buy a Picnic Table from the W Shop!
  • Earn 150 KinzCash playing Hoppy Little Rocketship
  • Get to level 6 in Home Before Dark
  • Get your face painted at the Farmer’s Market 3 times
  • Get an A in any hard class at the Kinzville Academy
  • Get some summer sun! Dress your pet in a swimsuit or swim trunks
  • Earn 50 Prize Tickets at the Arcade
  • Take your baby on the swings 3 times
  • Use the Fortune Teller at the Curio Shop on 4 different days

 
 

Harvest 10 crops from the Farmer’s Plot

Plant ground crops in your Farmer’s Plot and harvest from it at least 10 times. Sometimes you’ll harvest multiples from the same crop, but this task counts the number of times you harvest, not the amount of crops you receive. Are you maximizing your output? Make sure you fill your Farmer’s Plot with Advanced Editing turned off — this will ensure that your crops “snap to grid” and fill out all 21 spots.

 
 

Have a meal outdoors. Buy a Picnic Table from the W Shop!

You can find the Picnic Table in the W Shop under Decorations -> Yard Decor

 
 

Earn 150 KinzCash playing Hoppy Little Rocketship

Head to the Arcade, tap on any Arcade unit and choose Hoppy Little Rocketship from the list. This is a cumulative, KinzCash task, so you can take as many tries as you need to earn this amount of KinzCash. Try to keep your fuel tank filled so you can use a rocket boost when there’s nowhere to land. Use the score multiplier to increase your score more quickly.

 
 

Get to level 6 in Home Before Dark

Head to the Arcade, tap on any Arcade unit and choose Home Before Dark from the list. This can be a tricky one, but my best advice is to try to clear any obstacles as soon as they appear — use up as many tiles as you can. This isn’t about score, so make your connections as quickly as possible to finish each level.

 
 

Get your face painted at the Farmer’s Market 3 times

Look for the Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 6am to 11pm KinzTime. Tap on the face painting station to get the butterfly effect applied to your pet. You’ll need to visit three times over the next four weeks to complete this task.

 
 

Get an A in any hard class at the Kinzville Academy

Head to the Kinzville Academy and through the doors to start Classtime. You can score whatever on the easy and medium class as long as you get an A on the hard one. You’ll have four weeks of classes to complete this task.

 
 

Get some summer sun! Dress your pet in a swimsuit or swim trunks

If you’ve been chasing the Sun around Kinzville, you should have some brand new swimsuits! Old ones will also work for this task if you haven’t managed to find the Sun. You can also use the swimming gear in the W Shop.

 
 

Earn 50 Prize Tickets at the Arcade

While you’re playing games, you’ll earn tickets towards this task! Make sure you have fewer than 9,999 Arcade Tickets, or you won’t earn more. You can spend your tickets at the Arcade Shop — there are items, but also Play Tokens, which you can use to keep playing your favorite games once you’ve used up your free plays.

 
 

Take your baby on the swings 3 times

Tap on a stroller and select a baby. Visit the Baby Park in Kinzville and tap on the swings to have your baby use them. This task requires a baby on your account — you can’t borrow one for this task. Do this on three different days to complete this task.

 
 

Use the Fortune Teller at the Curio Shop on 4 different days

Head to the Curio Shop and tap on the Fortune Teller to receive a fortune and a prize — you could win an item, some KinzCash, or a Wish Token. Do this on four different days to complete this task.

Your Dogs Are Stealing the Spotlight!

An update on the upcoming Webkinz dog music video project

 
Last month, we asked you to send in videos of your dogs for inclusion in an upcoming music video.

 
 
We have been absolutely delighted by the videos you’ve shared with us! From real-life pups to cuddly Webkinz plushies, your submissions have been full of personality and charm.

 
 
To everyone who has already sent in a clip—THANK YOU. We’ve loved watching every moment, and your creativity is making this project something truly special.
 
 

Still Accepting Submissions!

We’re still collecting dog videos all summer long! If you haven’t submitted one yet, there’s still plenty of time.
To submit, just tag us on social media and use #WebkinzDogs so we can find your video or send your submission to socialganz@gmail.com.

 
 

A Quick Note on Timing

Originally, we planned to release the full music video this summer—but we’ve decided to push back the release of the song. That means we don’t have a set premiere date just yet.

 
 
While we can’t make any promises on timing, we can promise that this project is close to our hearts—and your videos are already bringing so much joy behind the scenes.

 
 
So keep them coming! We can’t wait to see more of your furry (or plush!) best friends.
 
 
Stay tuned!

Room Design Awards – Steve’s Choice

 

Congratulations Ottermellon! Steve loved your room and you have won a Room Design Trophy!

 

Here’s what he had to say about your room:

 

“While maybe not the most cheerful choice, Ottermellon’s Kinzville Prison gets my vote, mainly for its surprising creativity. One of my favorite things with fan-designed rooms is when someone uses items from various different themes to create something completely new and unexpected. This is definitely the case here and it completely works, right down to the prisoners’ striped shirts and the guard in the watchtower. Hope one day those prisoners get their own Shawshank Redemption!”

 

 

Ottermellon, please check your inbox for an email that will explain how to get your trophy!

Room Design Awards – Sally’s Choice

 

Congratulations Boulder Prairiehome! Sally loved your room and you have won a Room Design Trophy!

 

Here’s what she had to say about your room:

 

“First? Well done with your Legendary Dragon collection! This is a great mix of the Dragon Hero mystery capsule items and the Age of Magic Season prizes. I want to know more about this story! Perhaps they are on a great quest, marked by an X on the map (nice inclusion of the Arcade shop item), or they are discussing important dragon matters. Either way, the Dragons themselves steal the show in this awesome room!”

Room Design Awards – Michael’s Choice

 

 

Congratulations Rainbowraspy! I picked your room, and you have won a Room Design Trophy!

 

At a quick glance, you can see all the jobs from the Employment Office that are represented here. Wall dividers section off this room well and give each job their own space to shine. Tabby herself is working hard as always, monitoring everything from her desk, eager to promote hard-working pets! I think my favorite section is the Grocery Clerk job. Well done finding all the presentable foods for your clever conveyor belts! I just hope those Webkinz babies don’t get too overwhelmed and can settle down soon for a nap, so all the Webkinz Baby-Sitters can enjoy a well-deserved break!
