All Star Buddies

This giveaway is now closed with 156 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Barbara!


Grab a Buddy and have a ball! Bring the fun of Varsity Heights to real life with an All Star Buddies plush toy. Each toy comes with a secret code that unlocks your backpack and allows you to earn unlimited coins. You will also receive bonus coins that you can use to purchase cool virtual items for your Buddy.

What is Varsity Heights?

Varsity Heights is a sports-themed virtual world for kids where a healthy, positive lifestyle is reinforced through fun games, quests and social interaction.

It’s a place where kids of all ages and skill levels come together on an equal playing field to have fun, compete and socialize. Adventures come to life through playing games you’ve never played before and learning about new and exciting topics. In Varsity Heights, every kid can be an “All Star”!

About All Star Buddies:

The All Star Buddies world was created by two moms who share a passion for sports, fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle. As their children grew more interested in spending time on the Internet, they realized that there was a noticeable gap online between websites that were created for entertainment and those developed for education. They set out to find a way to seamlessly weave important learning into the fun and adventures that their kids were having online. And so All Star Buddies was born.

As sports lovers, they chose the sports theme because it offered the opportunity to speak to kids using real game concepts and ideas in an imaginative and virtual way. The sports theme also allowed them to incorporate important lessons such as problem solving, teamwork, good sportsmanship, fitness and good nutrition throughout the games and adventures so that kids would be exposed to these messages while playing. Other concepts like taking care of the environment and the importance of staying active and playing real sports are important to the All Star Buddies team and can also be found throughout Varsity Heights.

My kids received the set of 7 All Star Buddies and they have been having fun ever since! The stuffed balls are really very cute!

All Star Buddies would like to offer TWO lucky readers a Set of 7 All Star Buddies Plush Toys!

  8. At first I was like oh, cute toys but then after I read it I realized they go along with an online game where children can learn and interact while it still encourages them to play outside. I have four boys so obviously they'd love these but I know they'd love to play on the website too. Great giveaway!
