The team at Kinder Surprise would like you and your DCs to write your own ending to a story inspired by their new Storymakers website.

Here’s what they say,
“The Storymakers website is all about getting kids’ imaginations flowing, so we look forward to seeing some creative story-endings!”

You'll see, below, that the Kinder Surprise team have started a story and now they're inviting you and your DCs to finish it. Anyone who does (and who sticks to the 'broad rules') will be in with the chance of winning an iPad Mini.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

Broad rules:

  1. One short paragraph (up to 150 words) per post (you can post more than once, but don't get too carried away)

  2. You need to mention the parrot Percy

  3. You and your DC need to write the story-ending together

  4. Everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where three MNers will win an iPad Mini

  5. The three winners will have their story endings brought to life in a choose your own adventure style Mumsnet video

Here’s how the story begins:

First, Percy the Parrot explored the seaside. "I'm looking for ships," shouted Lighthouse shining his light in Percy's eyes. Then a crab crawled out from the water and started nipping at Percy's toes!

Next, Percy the Parrot explored outer space. "Chasing stars is fun." panted Spacedog. And just as Spacedog said that, a bright shooting star went whirring past. "Make a wish, Percy!" said Spacedog.

Then, Percy the Parrot explored the desert. "Get your cold drinkssss here shouted Lizard. "Apple juice please?" said Percy. "I only have beetle juice," replied Lizard. "Yuck! said Percy, flying off into the distance. Lizard shrugged. "More for me!" he said, slurping down the lot.

Finally, Percy explored under the sea, where he met Starfish...
