What Are Those Keys?

My kids are enjoying decorating their houses, but are having trouble with some parts. How do they get rid of an item if they accidentally bought it? Also, what are the “keys” for that are next to some of the items? Some items have a “price” and others have a key. I tried to click on the help button, but it wasn’t working….

Each key represents a designated amount of handipoints. To buy the keys:

1) Log in

2) Click on the Savings Goals tab on the upper right of your screen

3) This will bring up several categories of goals. Click on the keys

4) Parents are the ones who pay for these keys using the amazon check out. They are not very expensive and are used to unlock premium costumes and hidden features in HandiLand.

As far as what to do if you bought an item by mistake, I don’t think that there is a way to “unbuy” something.   Tell the kids to be careful what they click on!

  1. On other sites with pets you can “sell back” an item to the store. You get a reduced price back. It helps with buyers remorse. Would that be a possibility here?

  2. I can’t figure out how to start a new post so sorry if I am in the wrong place. My question is, is there a way to lock the childs page so he can’t change any of the jobs or amounts to be paid for each job?

  3. I’m sorry if this is not the correct spot to ask this question, but I’m looking for some help…
    When I was originally setting up my account, I closed the tutorial at the beginning as my kids weren’t there with me at the time. Now that all is set up, I want my kids to be able to view this, but haven’t been able to find it back again. Anyone know if this can be accessed? Thanks!

  4. I, too, am unsure how/where to ask something so will put it here.
    It looks like there are some new changes to grading tasks? Cool. But is there somewhere I can read about what has changed and how to use it? Or am I that behind the times that it’s not “new”? lol

  5. I’m not sure how to post a comment, so I’m probably in the wrong place, my question is how do you post comments on this page?

  6. I take it the Keys feature has been removed? I can’t find it anywhere? I don’t necessarily want it, but I want to make sure I’m not missing something.
    Thanks!
