My kids love their Webkinz friends and have been enjoying the ability to expand their fun by playing and exploring online with the special code they get with each one. Now, Webkinz expands even further with the introduction of their new Webkinz Friends FREE iPad App.

ace and friends thoughts



The Webkinz Friends iPad App is FREE downloadable game that is similar to what is offered through the Webkinz Facebook page. It takes a couple of minutes to set up and then you are ready to go. My kids love playing games on the iPad, so this was right up their alley!
To set up, you must first choose a pet to represent you in Kinzille and give it a name:

As the game begins, you start to place your building around Kinzville creating your own special town. 


Kinzville is the town in which your pets will live and thrive. Essentially, the better your buildings and business do in your town, the happier the pets will be that live there. The happier each pet is, the better the rewards you will receive while playing this game. 


To advance further in this game, you can complete different tasks that are found on the left side of the screen and tracked by each of the various icons. As you complete each task, you can then move up to a new level to have access to more activities, buildings and more. 


The kids really enjoyed adding various decorations throughout Kinzville, but did get a little frustrated when they had to wait for certain things to be built or gain enough items to purchase a particular decoration. This game is highly based on a waiting for things to be built or grow, which could be tough for younger kids to understand.


Overall, Webkinz Friends was enjoyable for all of my kids as well as for me. I really liked the convenience of playing the game easily on the iPad versus having to get to a desktop computer or access the game via Facebook. I know my kids will certainly get future enjoyment playing and building their Webkinz Friends town!

Will you play the FREE Webkinz Friends for the iPad?
What will you build first?

Earn Cash and Bonus Box Tops 4 Education with Jingit #jingit4edu #CBias



As I've mentioned before, my kids LOVE collecting Box Tops (well... they actually LOVE the prize that their class gets from collecting the MOST), but I love the benefits my kids will receive from the program.

If you are a parent like me, you are probably familiar with the Box Tops 4 Education program. Recently I was introduced to
Jingit, that not only allows you to earn EXTRA Box Tops for your school of choice, but extra cash too! 



You can easily earn cash from your favorite brands by watching a short video as well as locating these participating brands in-store. Getting started is super easy by signing up with 
Jingit online. Immediately you can begin watching videos and earn cash.



To compliment
Jingit online, you can also download the Jingit app to your phone (available for the iPhone and Android) and enjoy additional earning opportunities.




After I signed up online, I headed to Walmart to begin my shopping trip. Earning cash was very easy and I loved to hear the little *cha-ching*... when I earned my cash. The status bar maintains your cumulative total and it was fun to see my overall total continually increase throughout my shopping trip... now, who doesn't LOVE free money?!

There were many General Mills products participating in this program including: Yoplait Go-Gurt, Yoplait – Original Fridge Pack, Fiber One Brownies, Nature Valley Oats ‘n Honey Granola Bars, Honey Nut Cheerios, Totino’s Party Pizzas, Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers, Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks - Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot and Fruit Gushers. Thankfully, my kids enjoy many of these products.


Scanning products were fun and made the shopping experience somewhat entertaining. Some products require a two-step process as you will see below.


 First, I located the participating products and begin the Jingit *Check In* process.






Step 1: Scan the barcode on package #1 (this involves scanning Oats 'n Honey NATURE VALLEY Value Pack).



Step 2 (Next): Scan the barcode on package #2 (scanning Fiber One Brownies).



Final Step:
 Once you select *Finish Now*... you instantly earn your cash and it's added to your cumulative total in the upper right corner.




Signing up is very simple, check out my entire Sign up process and shopping trip in my 
Google + Story.

Jingit on Twitter and *Like* Jingit on Facebook.
