They come in all different types of animals. My nieces go crazy for them (11 and 9 years old). The each have a number and you enter this number on the webkinz web site. You cannot see the number until you buy the pet because it is enclosed in plastic on the ear. After you enter the number you furnish their rooms, buy clothes, play games to get points and you can talk to other webkinz online. After you get the number for the computer the stuffed animal is of no use - except to play with or to put on a shelf. You are buying the animal for the numbers. Very few stores have these because they sell out so fast. They retire animals (just like ty did for their animals). There are supposed to be new ones out in July.

I just bought one for each of my children. I ordered the pink poodle for Rachel. I ordered the tree frog for Jacob.

Lol, I really want the Yorkie. It's so pretty, pink and white (I know not realistic, but I think it's sooo pretty!), lol, but unfortunately, I'm broke now. My hubby keeps reminding me I have real Yorkies, and I have a new puppy (Ocean) coming in July, lol. But can't help but want it!!!

My children love their webkins, thanks to my boys all the kids in our neighborhood now also have them, lol.

Some people even give them out instead of treat bags at birthday parties, it would be very expensive though. I thought about doing that at my children's parties but it would be sad if some of the children did not have access to a computer.

I got a few of them for my Granddaugther!! She loves them. We ordered more of them.
