I'm not even going to pretend that I understand the first thing about Webkinz. My kids and grandson are grown, so I'm far removed from online interactive toys.

What I do know about them from my younger neice and nephew is that they are a lot of fun and kids really like them. My sister tells me that one of the great things about Webkinz is that they teach kids about caring and responsibility. I think that's great and if they can learn those virtues while having fun, so much the better.

I guess that makes a Webkinz a Christmas gift for the parents and the child. The fact that it comes in under $10 makes it especially nice.
