Webkinz Plush Toys

What it is: Plush pets that have access to a kid-safe online interactive environment where the plush toys are transformed into virtual pets.

Why we love it: Think Beanie Babies meet Cabbage Patch Kids meet NeoPets and you get the idea of what Webkinz are about. Each plush pet has a special code that is the password into Webkinz World, an interactive, educational, online environment where kids can play games and create online worlds for their pets. After logging in, the adoption process begins and kids can name and learn all about their new Webkinz pet and print their adoption certificate. The Webkinz internet site introduces kids to the world of social messaging and there are many plush pets and accessories to collect.

Who we'd give it to: Early and late elementary school children as well as tweens would love this hot kid's toy.

Where to get it: From Webkinzpetstore starting at an internet-ready $12.99.
