Volume 2 "My Webkinz Companion Guide"


Today marks the launch of Volume 2 of "My Webkinz Companion Guide" on Amazon. This book has sold tons of copies as Volume 1 and Volume 2 is filled with twice as many activities! Over 85 pages of fun for kids to have by themselves, with their siblings, at a birthday party, sleepover, or just a fun gathering of neighborhood kids.

My Webkinz Companion Guide: Volume 2

There are even Webkinz Bingo cards to tear out of the back of the book!
There are more games that you can put together to play outside (even Webkinz Olympics--perfect for this month!) and some for playing online and recording your scores. If you know a kid that likes to mix things up in the
kitchen, there are even cooking activities to do online. Will you make something yummy or will it be Gak?

With Volume 1 there was a contest to submit an idea for me to use in Volume 2.
If I used it then you would win a copy of Volume 2! There are two winners: Maddie and Devon. We used their ideas and there are pages in Volume 2 thanks to them! If you submit more ideas, you could win a copy of Volume 3. We are constantly staying up to date with all of the new aspects of Webkinz to include in our next books.

This book is an excellent birthday gift idea for any child who owns a Webkinz pet (and I find it very hard to located any children these days that don't have at least one pet....most have twenty or more!)

I co-authored this book along with the newest teacher book "Hands-On Learning with Webkinz" with Caroline Laurin-Young. Caroline had purchased my first book, "Using Webkinz in the Classroom" and then planned on using it for the basis of her summer-school program. She needed to add some activities to what I had written, and many of those are what you'll find in this newest book.

I am sure you'll be pleased with these newest books in my "Turning Toys into Tools" collection.

Finally, I've been writing and publishing some articles lately about how to use the Webkinz pets for learning. You can read these on my blog: http://originalgadgetgirl.blogspot.com/

There's also a sampler of webkinz activities available for no charge at: http://turningtoysintotools.com

Enjoy the day! The girls and I are heading out for a bike ride and picnic at the park!
