How to Have a Webkinz Fashion Show

Webkinz, a line of stuffed animals by Ganz, provide plenty of fun in the real world as well as online. The online world of Webkinz provides a variety of games and activities for children ages 6 to 13 in a safe and friendly environment. If you're looking for more ways to encourage your kids to play with Webkinz in the real world, rather than on the computer, consider hosting a fashion show.

Instructions

- 1
  Buy or make clothes for your child's Webkinz toys. Ganz provides clothing sized specially for Webkinz toys, though other brands of clothing for stuffed toys may work just as well depending on the size and fit. If you're feeling crafty, pick out your fabric and help your child sew some custom-made outfits for her Webkinz plush.
- 2
  Deck the animals out in costume jewelry. Toy jewelry can be a fun way to spruce up a Webkinz toy's look and get it all geared up for the upcoming fashion show. Help your child pick out suitably sized accessories. Repurpose hairbands, bracelets and anklets as necklaces for your Webkinz.
- 3
  Prepare the runway. Get creative: you can use a table, the bed, a dresser or an upturned crate as your runway. Make a banner announcing the fashion show, if you'd like, and consider using a lamp as a spotlight.
- 4
  Play with the Webkinz animals, parading them down the runway and showing off their clothes. You or your child can be the announcer, explaining the fashions and styles on display.
- 5
  Take pictures to document the fashion show.
