Webkinz are these cute plushie animals that you can get from gift stores all around!
What makes these plushie animals different from the rest?
Well whats different is that webkinz dolphins for example come with this secret code when you buy an animal. With these codes you go online to the webkinz.com site and it allows you to adopt a web version of your plush webkinz animal! You can name the webkinz and choose to have it as a boy or girl. Once you adopt it, it's given a virtual home where it can have furniture and toys to play with. You can buy new furniture, and redecorate the home however you like.
Also the cool part is that each webkinz animal comes with a happiness, health and hunger meter. You have to take care of your webkins by feeding and playing with it to keep it happy. It's kind of like those virtual pets, but with these you can do a lot more.

"Webkinz are toy stuffed animals that were originally released by the Ganz company on April 29, 2005. The toys are similar to many other small plush toys, however, each Webkinz toy has an attached tag with a unique "Secret Code" printed on it that allows access to the "Webkinz World" website. On Webkinz World, the Secret Code allows the user to own a virtual version of the pet for online play for a limited time. To maintain long-term access to an account, the user must continue to purchase additional stuffed toys." This is from Wikipedia.org
