It’s time to start thinking about those great gift ideas for the kiddos and this time of year it seems like my girls are always asking for new video games. Maybe it’s those long car rides or all the time they spend trying to entertain themselves during the holidays but games are great gifts for kids. We bought our oldest daughters their own Nintendo systems, Kai got a 3DS and Brook a 2DS. This is great because any 3DS game can play on the 2DS.
Our girls got to try out the new Ubisoft: Petz Beach Game and it’s a great game for our oldest because it allows you to look after your very own pets. Kai loves to explore and having 50 different pets to look and care after, she had fun being the Animal handler. Brooklin also had fun just playing and interacting with the 20+ different breeds of dogs and cats! Also Petz Beach is set with a beautiful ocean vista including white sands and towering palm trees.
There are more than 50 different types of animals in the game from tons of dogs, a penguin, many breeds of cats, polar bears, dolphins, and a whale. Also something that is really fun is that the environment in game changes with the seasons, the adventure lasts all year long! With migration season being here this is great to teach them and for them to think why do animals move around during the year.
The game also expands as you play. As players explore the town and meet new neighbors with their pets, the game expands and grows. Helping new friends will expand the village as the game progresses. There are more than 200 in-gam collectibles and so many villages to explore ad quests to complete!
Learning while on the journey. Through its partnership with Encyclopaedia Britannica, Petz Beach incorporates learning along the way. As kids care for their pets and complete missions, they’ll learn facts about animals, plants and insects! This is why Pets Beach is great for both our daughters and Kai can turn on the 3D action to added dimensional fun! 
Also coming soon is Petz Countryside another great gift for the holidays! You can also purchase Petz Beach on Amazon.com right now!
Would you kids like a new game for Christmas?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
This look like a great gift option. I bet the Petz Countryside will also be good.
A game where you play with puppies and other cute animals! How can you not love it?
I didn’t think of getting the girls a new game for Christmas, but it’s a good idea! They’d like this one – thanks for the gifting idea!
My little guy would LOVE that. He loves games like this.
What a cool gift. Fun choice for kids.
Uh… I’D like this game for Christmas. I can totally get behind a game that lets me play with puppies! =D
This game looks so cute! I have some cousins on my gift list that would love it!
My daughter would love this game as she is a big fan of the series.
What a fun Christmas gift idea! I’ll have to share this with my little sister, she loves her DS! Plus, who wouldn’t want to play with cute puppies?
This is so up my girls alley! They would really love this I think! Need to see about grabbing for them!
Petz Beach looks like a fun game. My daughter loves all the different Petz games.
We are still doing the LeapPad thing around here. I am sure it won’t be long before my 4 year old starts wanting a Nintendo DS, then the video game requests will come flooding in too!
My kids are not quite old enough for these games either. I am sure they will be into them soon though!
This is the cutest game ever. I could totally kill some time playing with virtual puppies. =D
Looks like a cute game for girls! Unfortunately I don’t think my sons would be interested in it. 🙁 They like the fighting, killing, and sports games :/
My daughter was so into these pet games when she was younger. They are really life like and so fun for kids. Does it do the trick where you blow on the screen and bubbles appear for the dog to play with?
The kids are so into these games! Perfect gift this year!
Looks like a great little game! I’ll have to see if the kids have heard of it yet.
Oh how cute. This would be perfect for animal loving kids as well as those that can’t have a real pet due to allergies or other reasons.
This looks like a great game. My kids love the Petz games.
That does look pretty fun! Neat game!
What a cute game. My niece would love this. I think I see an awesome Christmas present in her future. =D
Totally. My kids each have games on their holiday wish list. This one looks like a cute game, too… thanks for sharing.
What a cute game. Too bad my son lost his DS 2 months ago 🙁
My daughter would love this. She had one of the Petz games on her regular DS.
My daughter loved playing that game when she was younger. It is a great gift.
This looks so fun. My daughter would love it!
Oh yes – they all have a list of games they want. Not sure which ones they will get – going shopping on Black Friday for game deals.
This will be a cool gift pick. Love that it’s somehow educational.

That Petz came looks pretty adorable. We don’t have games here for kiddo. She is only with us (her dad) 2 days a week so we prefer she not get sucked into playing them.
My daughter really wants one of these for Christmas! That Petz beach game looks cute!
Who doesn’t love puppies!?! What a great gift idea! I think I might like it myself. 🙂
What a great game for kids to play. I like that it’s connected to Encyclopaedia Britannica and addes educational info to the game.
