Do-It-Yourself (and with a little help from your friends) in Webkinz World
Starting August 15, a brand new feature is coming together in Webkinz World: Building Kits!
Building Kits let you create great new items with help from your friends. Building Kits will be available to purchase in the W Shop.
Here’s how it works:
– Visit the W Shop where you can see how many Building Materials are needed to complete each Building Kit.
– Once you purchase a Building Kit, place it in your pet’s room and click on it to start the building process. You’ll see which Building Materials you need – and that’s where your friends come in!
– You can ask your friends for Building Materials through the Message Center.
– As you collect the right Building Materials you can begin to build your Kit in stages. You’ll see your Building Kit transform before your very eyes as you watch it progress through four stages of completion.
– When you’ve collected enough Building Materials from friends it’s time to finish your Building Kit.
– The end result? An awesome new item that you can show off to your friends!

The new Building Kits you’ll be able to create with your friends’ help include the Wacky Clay Sculpture, the Homemade Hot Air Balloon, and the Log Cabin, to name a few. And watch throughout the year for special Building Kits, such as holiday Building Kits, that will be available for limited times only.

Check out the Building Kits coming to the W Shop on August 15. Because you’re not just building awesome items, you’re building friendships.
