Ganz is continuing the celebration of Friendship Month by allowing players to add many of the Webkinz World "hosts" as friends. In order to get the hosts to befriend you, you must complete a specific task for each.
The host will then send you a Friend Request.
Do not send a Friend Request through your Kinzphone. Thanks to

Oddmeister for this image of what the Friend Request will look like on your account:
Alternately you can send the host a Friend Request through your Kinzphone. Use the entire name of the host, with a space between first and last name: Arte Fact; Ms. Cowoline; Amanda Panda; Tabby Von Meow; Fred Rover; Debbie Dragon; Sheldon Turtle. You will know that these are hosts and not regular Webkinz users by the blue smiley next to their name on your Kinzphone.
Once these friends are on your friend list, you can invite them to play games and send them messages and gifts in KinzPost. Who knows what they might send you in return!
UPDATE: Thank you to

colliegal for letting us know that players who add all eight of the hosts to their friend lists are rewarded with a new MyPage badge.
