Webkinz is an online platform and virtual world designed for children, originally launched in 2005 by Ganz. It combines plush toys with a digital experience, where each plush comes with a unique code granting access to an online pet within the Webkinz World.
Players can adopt and care for their virtual pets, play games, decorate virtual rooms, and interact with other users in a safe, moderated environment. Known for its engaging and educational content, Webkinz has won awards like the Parents’ Choice Awards and is recognized for pioneering interactive entertainment for kids.
