Webkinz Jr. was the preschool counterpart of Webkinz. It was intended to be a more educational site for a younger audience of children aged 3-6.

Lots to love, lots to learn.

History

The first Webkinz Jr. pets were released in April 2009 when they appeared in the Ganz eStore (code only for $25.00). 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 in most stores.

Ganz put an emphasis on pet emotions (sleepy, hungry etc.) and advertised heavily around the Webkinz site.

As of January 31st, 2018, Webkinz Jr. is no longer in service and has shut down.[1] Accessing it leads to a 404 not found message.

 
Three of the main pets.

Features

Like Webkinz, Webkinz Jr. had a "Deluxe Membership" subscription service that allowed users and parents to access more features on the site.[2] Webkinz Jr. included early access to new Playhouse games, daily prizes at the Caring Center, more Little Acorn Academy activities, and adventures with Ranger Kenny. In the Parent's Area side, users would receive detailed reports on their child's, create a to-do list of activities, and learn-at-home printable.

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

Areas

Players could access several areas, starting from their Home. Areas would change appearances depending on the season.

Home

Every home contained a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, playroom, and front and back yard. In the playroom, pets could play with toys and watch Tv.
