Mind Candy, the.

What do kids do when they’re too old for Webkinz World but too young for Facebook? Well it seems that they join Moshi Monsters. My daughter wanted to join so I took a quick look at the site and let her sign up. The website combines some of the fun of Webkinz — adopting a virtual pet (in this case a monster), earning points (“Rox”) by playing educational games in order to “buy” things for the monster — with a few of the social networking features of Facebook, like connecting with friends and sending messages.

At first I was a bit worried when my daughter started exhibiting some obsessive behavior with the site, logging on often to see if she had any messages (kind of like me when I first joined Facebook). I asked her to show me how it works and how she interacts with people on the site. Members of the site can add each other as “friends”, just like on Facebook. They have to know each other’s “user names” first and then they can invite them to be listed on their “friend tree”. Once added, they can post messages on each others “pinboards”.

My daughter had a bunch of friends and I asked her, who are these little monsters? Most were friends from her 4th grade class in school. But a few were random people she didn’t know. I explained that while her new friend is probably 9-year old Jenny from Des Moines, it could well be 52-year old Ralph from Denver. So I had her delete them from her “friend tree” and told her she can only be “friends” with people that she knows. Since then she has only befriended classmates.

Then we talked about what kinds of conversations she was having online. Most of it was innocent enough – chit-chat about school and stuff, like a continuation of recess. While some of the “who likes who” and “did you hear what so and so said” were innocent enough, I reminded her that anyone of her Moshi friends can read the messages she “accepts” on the pinboard. (She can also choose to keep a message private). We discussed what types of things would be inappropriate to talk about online. Also of note, messages are screened by the system, and kids can tag messages as inappropriate, which are then reviewed. Evidentially there are forums and portions of the site you have to pay for, but so far my daughter hasn’t mentioned the forums, and there seems to be enough to do on the site without having to pay for more, so we probably won’t go down that road.

Moshi Monsters Online Game

In a previous post I talked about things parents should keep in mind if their kids are on Facebook and I would suggest similar guidelines for Moshi or any other site, such as:

Sign up using an e-mail account that I have access to (it is helpful that on Moshi, parental permission is needed for kids under age 13.)
Share her password with me so I could log into her account if necessary.
Set some ground rules, such as only accept a friend request from someone who you actually know.
Go through all the privacy and account settings with her step-by-step.

The reality is kids go online these days so might as well teach them early how to do it appropriately, in a somewhat safe environment. At this age screen-time limits might not be a bad idea. Everything in moderation.

We were sent lots of Moshi Monsters Egg Hunt Collectibles in return for this review.

There are no photos of the boys in this post because sadly, they were so poorly over this half term and their birthdays too that they mostly just slept and burned up, and smiled weakly at the Moshi Monsters Egg Hunt Collectibles in between crying for Calpol. Now they’re much better and very eggcited [sorry] about the little creatures.

So, in the post arrived a selection of boxes containing Moshi Monsters Egg Hunt toys. And can I say, hallelujah. If I could meet the people that decided on this new collection, I would shake their hand so hard – and I might even hug them. You see, the boys have American friends who each Easter [or Halloween, or Christmas, or indeed any given celebration throughout the year] are the lucky recipients of SEASONAL gifts from their parents. At Easter there are easter shaped chalks and rabbity shaped plates, Easter toys made specifically to celebrate with…and in England? Nothing. The most eggciting things [I can’t stop now] that we get are different made of chocolate. There’s very little for the non-chocolate eaters.

One year the Easter bunny filled the eggs with Lego Minifigures, and the boys loved it. This year, we have the Moshi Monsters eggs which you can see inthe photo below. There are singular packs, perfect for Easter Baskets, packs that can be shared and when you have a few to play with, there’s even a little party house to pop them in.

The house comes with a limited edition Moshi Monster called Blingo who seems, according to the boys, in charge of the disco in the house. There are reusable stickers [Lyoto was rejoicing] and a trapdoor for the Moshlings to get to the fun. The little egg swing at the side is very cute, and the boys spent quite a bit of time trying to catapult the Moshi Monsters from it to no avail. Haha.

The little figures are well detailed, especially those in the mystery eggs, and there’s such a wide range that there’s a monster for everyone. We decided to decorate Granny and Jensen’s birthday cakes with Moshi Monsters this year – I’ll add the photo to our Instagram stories this week] and everyone picked their favourite monster. I love toys like this that can be used over and over for different things.

The boys are enjoying popping the Moshi Monsters in and out of the eggs and playing memory games with them, and trying to remember all of the names – and I’m delighted they love them as I’ve bought a few more for Easter egg hunt time! I’m not sure how much play the playhouse will get because they tend to take their little Moshi Monsters off on adventures, but it makes a cute display on their shelf and gives a base to tidy them away next to.

What’s also brilliant about each pack is that it includes a code for a digital gift on the Moshi Monsters Egg Hunt app – I’ve kept ours secretly ready for Easter so it will give them something eggstra [I’m feeling quite hilarious now] to have fun with! Every pack has one, from the biggest to the single egg packs!
