DISCUSSION - People with Special Needs and Webkinz

[PinkSlicky]

My sweetie girl has multiple issues, but loves polar plunge...I play with her in my lap and she watches and cheers "Go bear Go" and "Be careful bear" and sadly the inevitable "Wipe out!!!!!" So we play together and we talk and bond together.

This is a thread of ideas and has pics from a Webkinz themed Bday party:

It may even mention it in the above thread, but a few ideas I've seen that weren't very expensive was making a Jelly Bean guessing jar game, and serving a "Recipe Food" at the party (you only need to be creative in replicating one ) If you check out the Crafty Critters section on WW you are bound to get a slew of ideas!!!

Hopefully when Webkinz Jr. debuts it will have a lot more to offer your son

Yes, Webkinz has been a wonderful bonding experience for us as well. It is difficult to communicate on a deeper level with a child with Autism and WW affords us a great opportunity to try new and repeat old things together.

Wow, that is an amazing birthday thread. That party sure looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for pointing it out and sharing your ideas.

Just came accross this thread with a really cute idea for Webkinz collars. The theme is holiday, but if you changed the colors it could be a year round craft

My sister is 3 and she can't do any games by herself except wishing well and wheel of wow. Granted she is young and that, but she is very advanced for her age. I wan;t some games where there not to boring for the teens, but simple for the young ones!

This is a fantastic idea! My little brother is autistic, he has the webkinz duck and loves it, however he seems to have no interest in the virtual aspect of webkinz. But if he ever did get interested in seeing Drake online then I would love to have someone to talk to about kids with similar needs found helpful or fun for their child/family member.

You should try some of the suggestions here with your little brother and see if you can spark some interest. If nothing else it will be great bonding time.

Great Topic! But i think if you make a diffrent webkinz or games for special kids they wont feeel like they are equal or the same of the other, healthy kids and we dont want to odd them out but i think many games are fun and easy for anyone including in the tournament areana chef challenge super model challenge, rock*paper*scissor*shoot
