Plant Babies are virtual pets that your kid can take care of. Each one of the Plant Babies represents a unique character trait – Confidence, Persistence, Patience, Hope, and Humor.  They use inspirational messages and encouragement to teach kids the value of these traits.  Kids also learn responsibility and have loads of fun by taking care of their Plant Babies, making sure they are well fed and powered up.

Plant Babies help KidsCom.com Kids learn personal responsibility and develop positive character traits – while having fun! KidsCom.com Kids can "sprout" Plant Babies, each having different needs and personalities, and care for them by using special items to keep them fed and powered up. Also, the kids you add to your KidsCom.com Root ‘n Reward account receive exclusive bonuses for their Plant Babies – such as a Plant Baby hotel reservation so their Plant Baby will be cared for if your kid can't get on the computer to care for them.

Kids use Virtual Points to buy special items and power-ups for their Plant Babies.  They earn these by completing games and learning activities on the site. The Virtual Points you give kids to acknowledge their accomplishments are also used to care for their Plant Babies.
