When little children begin to expand their horizons, the results are often hilarious and make a surprising amount of sense - mustard tastes "spiky", radiators are "radiheaters". This week we're asking you what funny things your DC has got mixed up about, for a chance to win a Little Mouse hamper.

In The Mouse Who Reached the Sky, Little Mouse sees something red and shiny hanging from a tree and thinks it’s a marble, but Mole is sure it’s a balloon and Rabbit says it’s a ball! Petr Horá?ek perfectly captures the adorable mix-ups children make when they are small, in a charming story to be shared time and time again.

Download the How To Draw Little Mouse activity sheets here and here , and watch the How to Draw Little Mouse video here:

Share your sweet stories for the chance to win this gorgeous Little Mouse hamper including three Little Mouse books by Petr Horacek, activities, stickers and a signed, limited edition Little Mouse print for your child’s bedroom.

This competition is sponsored by Walker Books, and closes on Tuesday 1 September.

We have tremendous fun with "going out to play on the trumpoline in the garden", and "can I have some farties (Smarties) please", so cute and funny, from or DD who is two! :)

My dd 2.5 has lots of cute ones. My favourite is that she tells me she's doing something "ploperly" when I repeat its "properly" she parrots back, "properly mummy, that's what I said ploperly".

Also when I was doing pretend horsies on my leg bouncing her up and down, she stroked my leg and declared "spiky mummy, likes daddy's chin". Blush I tried explaining it was hairy, but spiky has stuck. She now happily declares when my legs are too "spiky".

My little boy who is 5 still calls hairs "didoofs"
