Tell MegaBloks the funniest imaginary play scenarios your children have come up with - chance to win a £300 voucher NOW CLOSED

[JustineBMumsnet]

Watching children grow up and learn to play in creative, interesting ways can be heart-warming, but also hilarious. MegaBloks would like to hear about the funniest scenarios your kids have come up with when they've been playing make believe.

Here’s what MegaBloks have to say: “Every parent wants what’s best for their children. They want to build them up, and so do we at Mega Bloks. In stacking tall towers, children learn to develop their creativity. In telling stories with characters, they’re exploring their imaginations. And in building make-believe worlds where they can be the hero, they’re also building up the confidence to be anything!”

So, whether you've eavesdropped on your kids copying something you've done in an uncannily accurate way or you’ve been gobsmacked by them coming up with something that wouldn't be out of place in a soap opera, share your children’s funniest imaginary play stories with MegaBloks below.

All those who post on the thread will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Toys R Us voucher.

Thanks, and good luck with the prize draw!

My twins love to pretend to be doctors and patients. One of them has a doll under their top and the other one will get the pretend scissors out of their medical kit and cut the baby out :)

My youngest is 2 and always playing with her baby doll but this is the latest in a long line of funny things she does. She lays her baby of the sofa then lays with it and gives it a cuddle, all of a sudden she throws herself off the sofa and says 'mummy, baby not share sofa. Baby pushed me off'

Oh I have so many giggles overhearing my DS talking away in his imaginary situation. His latest one was him battling a massive giant spider with his imaginary gun (a hanger!) spraying cow milk to kill it. (My DS is allergic to cow milk thus the lethal reference!!)

My son found an unused and still in the wrapper tampon... he undid the wrapping and used the applicator as a 'school whistle' to get all of his teddies in line as it was the end of playtime and they had to go inside to play with lego.

Had a lovely time explaining to him afterwards that it was not a whistle but we shall go to the shop and buy one. Haha

When younger my two boys invented a series of games based on being a woodlouse.

Stranded Woodlouse involved ds2 lying on his back waving his arms and legs in the air (an upside down woodlouse) and ds1 tipping him back the right way.

Invading woodlouse required the ds1 woodlouse lying on the living room rug and preventing the invading ds2 woodlouse from getting on the rug (by waving arms and legs).

My son liked playing with his sister's doll . He said to his sister I'll look after the baby (doll). you go out and play with your friends. He changed the babies bottom fed the baby (doll) and put the baby (doll) to bed. An hour later my daughter came back from playing with her friends. He said to my daughter where's my babysitting money. She went in the freezer and got him a lolly.

Today my kiddies were playing upstairs. My son announced that he was a hamster and his sister was going to buy him for £50. Then he was going to turn into a dog. They played for ages.

Creating an impromptu musical based in an office!

Ds age 4 and his nursery friends have great imaginations. Best one was when we went to the river together and they went round the corner of the bank for a quiet few minutes. They arrived back top to toe in mud, including their sandals and faces! Apparently they were in the police and the only way to get in was to wear the (mud) uniform!
It can go badly wrong though. Ds was extremely distressed when he was told he hadn't paid his parking ticket. I had to loan him the imaginary dosh!

My dd currently pretends all her cuddly toys are Pokémon- they seem to live in the dolls house but frequently go to school under her bed..

Everything is a phone to my DS, including a sanitary towel at one point (a clean one obviously)

My funniest memory of my two boys must be from when they were 2 and 3. All very quiet up in the bedroom apart from some giggling. As I entered their bedroom they were both sat on the floor with pants on their heads! This came about from reading the 'Aliens Love Underpants' books.

Once my girls decided they were worms, they slid around saying ooh muddy mud. Oh and Drs is a favourite one too.

My dd (2) woke up really early the other morning but I could hear her happily playing with her teddies in her cot so left her to it while I made a cup of tea. Could hear her over the monitor talking to her toys and telling them off for being naughty. Suddenly gets really loud and cross sounding and says..."And as for you Ewan (her toy sheep) make sure you tidy up this mess before daddy gets home!"

No idea where she gets it from!

Flounder Yours has reminded me of my DD (2) coming out the bathroom with a (clean) panty liner in her mouth saying "Look mummy, a bone! Woof Woof I'm a doggy!"

DS was furious this morning because he couldn't find his big Thomas and Gordon and his magic carpet. He was adamant that he was playing with them before bed and is looking everywhere for them. We don't have any of those toys so I'm guessing he had a wonderful dream about them and is now confused between reality and his imagination.

My 2 year old put some fairy wings on her daddy pig toy last night and decided he could fly. She made him a magic wand too!

One of the dodgier games my dc used to play is Topsy and Tim - in particular the scene from the 1960s version of "Topsy and Tim go hillwalking" where the landlady threatens that their father will "dust their breeches". This led to a longstanding spanking game which had them squealing in excitement. Just the phrase set them off.

When do we find out who won?
