A multi-dimensional play toy, this cuddly plush also has an online personality unlocked by its unique code — the passport to the Webkinz website. After purchasing the stuffed animal, a bright eyed Arctic fox with snow-white fur and a big bushy tail, kids can interact with their new friend online on a website specifically designed with their safety and interests in mind. Each animal comes with special items and favorite foods: the Arctic fox loves Winter Snow Crepes and exercises on its very own Frozen Tundra Treadmill.
