Jelly Bean Friends
Just when you thought your little one was over the Webkinz craze, a new little stuffed bundle of joy comes along - the Jellybean Friend also known as a Jellybeanie. These cute little furry creatures can be bought on the Jellybean Friends web site and their special code will allow you access to their very bright and magical world.

A virtual world for toddlers!
Just when you thought your little one was over the Webkinz craze, a new little stuffed bundle of joy comes along - the Jellybean Friend also known as a Jellybeanie. These cute little furry creatures can be bought on the Jellybean Friends web site and their special code will allow you access to their very bright and magical world, called Chroma.

Adorable stuffed toys
Very similar to the Webkinz franchise, Jellybean Friends have the happiness, health and hunger meters as well as a friendship meter to help insure the good care of your child’s new friend. They can choose clothes and accessories to personalize their friend and there are currently eight different friends available ranging from a vanilla armadillo to a green mint mouse - all with their own personalities and scent. Think Teletubbie meets Care Bears, meets Strawberry Shortcake and you get the idea…

The safety factor
As far as safety goes - a very important aspect of any site our children visit –  the chat function for every JellyRoom environment has a child protective chat tool in place. Only members can chat with each other, and they can only use pre-constructed messages - you are not able to type a personal message. You can also block members, and all chat if needed. The site is still under development, so there may be some bugs; they will also be adding more features over time as the community grows.

Something very ‘cool’
These toys come with their own scent that lasts and lasts…a fun idea!
