History

The first Webkinz Jr. pets were released in April 2009 when they appeared in the Ganz eStore. The site's construction took some time, but Webkinz Newz announced the site was ready on April 2, 2009, although the tour and other parts of the site were ready before then. Webkinz Jr. pets cost $25.00 USD MSRP both as a plush and in the eStore.

Ganz stated in March 2011 that Webkinz Jr. would continue to be supported, but had no further plans to make more pets.[1]

In the Parent's Area, users could change their pet's names, manage their account, and adjust the difficulty levels.

Like Webkinz, Webkinz Jr. had a "Deluxe Membership" subscription service that allowed users and parents to access more features on the site.[3] For Webkinz Jr., this included a faster rotation of Playhouse games, Daily Surprises at the Caring Center, more Little Acorn Academy activities, and a new activity at the Park. For the Parent's Area, this included the ability for parents to view detailed reports on their child's playtime, create a to-do list of activities, and download learning printables.

Areas

In February 2010, a new area was added that could be accessed by clicking the school bus.[4]
