    WebbliPlod 

    Don't panic! WebbliWorld will be down for roughly 48 hours from tonight while we do some major work to the server. The new test site has been experiencing difficulties and any work we do to that will effect the existing site. We'll let you know as soon as we're back online.

    The brand new, virtual WebbliWorld is now in its final test phase before we launch it worldwide. We've invited all our registered users to test the site and give us their thoughts and feedback. The new site, designed and built by Aardman Animations, is just as safe as the current one but allows the kids more freedom to explore, learn and be creative. We'll let you know as soon as it's live.

    We're very excited here at WebbliWorld. Our brand new virtual world, designed and built by Aardman Animations, is now ready for user testing. We're inviting all our registered users to have a play and give us lots of feedback so we can make sure it's the best it can be. The new world will link back to our current pages so there will still be plenty of learning and fun to be had by all. As soon as the site is ready to go live, we'll let you know.

    We're celebrating Easter. Wanda dreams of a choccie egg the size of Wij's head and suggests some great Easter crafts. On a brainier note, Wij investigates the human eye and checks out why he and Seymore wear such super-cool WebbliSpex.
