Get a Free Webkinz Toy Extravaganza

Webkinz retailers from across the US and Canada will be giving out free Webkinzs as part of the three day celebration of the popular toys.

The Ganz Company from Toronto, Canada announced the event on its website, "To celebrate Webkinz World's third anniversary, we're announcing a whole weekend of fun, prizes and surprises! Webkinz Day Extravanganza promotion available in U.S.A. and Canada only. Visit a participating Webkinz retailer on April 25th, 26th or 27th and you'll be surrounded with great Webkinz activities, contest and promotions!"

Participating retailers will each be giving away 500 Webkinz toys on a first-come basis. Most retailers stipulate that the free Webkinz is available with a purchase of ten dollars or more, yet others like the Monroe, Washington's Ben Franklin Crafts and Frameshop is giving the plush toy away with a two dollar registration for the event.

Checkout the Webkinz store locator to find a participating retailer. On the top left corner of this webpage is the link to the Webkinz Day Extravaganza Store Locator. Simplly enter Country, State, and City to find the nearest participating retailer.
