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!

Funniest has to be when DD was pretending to 'fix' her cosy coupe car and being a mecananic (mechanic) an started kicking it going 'Bl*dy thing' ''useless crp" when told that was not nice words to be using she turned to daddy and told him off .. a very sheepish dad decided not to do any car repairs within her earshot again

My little girl has a daddy dolly and a mummy dolly that she likes to make sit on the toilet and make big fart noises, which is very embarassing. she also sends them to their room for climbing on things.

My DCs favourite pretend game when they were wee was playing at shops. Sometimes they would have a pet shop with all their soft toys playing the animals, also a cake shop (lots of crispie cake making), and my DD particularly liked perfume shop once which involved picking the petals of all my roses to make her perfumes.

My Son and his friend were pretending to be Dick and Dom!

dd1 used to talk to her dolls like they were real, very funny when we were out and about

We went to look around a nursery last week as my daughter starts in january (shes 3) and i overheard her telling one of the classroom assistants that she lives in a zoo and plays with the animals all the time. the teacher came over to ask about the zoo thinking we lived on a farm and i had to explain that we live in a normal house but when our pets are making noises ( we have 2 dogs, a cockatoo , fish and a lizard) i shout at them saying its like living in a zoo !!!

Normally playing under the sea having a tea party with a variety of sea creatures

DD loves playing tea parties or school. Basically anything where she gets to be in charge and boss her teddies (and me!) around! Playing school is the best way for me to find out what actually goes on at real school.

My son was wearing his spiders costume. I hadn't heard anything from him for a while so went looking for him. My daughter had put the clothes basket over him. I asked her what she was doing and she said, she didn't have a glass so she had put him under the basket until daddy put him outside.

I once overheard my LO's having a conversation 'why didn't you leave early'

'We are going to be late'

'It would be easier if i drove' at which point i popped my head around the corner & they are sat next to each other pretending to be me & my husband in the car.

My son has an imaginary 'big yellow house' that he keeps telling me he goes to when he goes 'night nights'. I would love to see this mystery house!

My daughter regularly has tea parties on her own with her toys and she gives them all names and lifes. Some of them have kids, some of them are single.. some are married. She always sticks to the same back stories for them haha

My DS1 was two when I was pregnant with DS2 and announced one day that he had a baby in his tummy too, a baby chimpanzee!! I bought him a little Steiff chimpanzee as a present from DS2 when he came to visit in the hospital. Chimpanzee Baby (he isn't imaginative with names!) largely stays in his bedroom and gets cuddled at night but does sometimes get played with in the day and looked after like a real baby. Most notably, this has involved DS1 breastfeeding his baby complete with sucking sound effects and frequent changing sides! He was very interested in how babies come out of their mummies' tummies and I explained this to him, in very basic terms. He remains confused about how Chimpanzee Baby came into the world!

Stacie was playing with her kitchen set when I had visitors call. She was happy playing away whilst we sat having a natter over a cuppa. All of a sudden she blurts out "I'm going to make you some jacket potatoes", great we thought and carried chatting. Stacie then proceeded to tell us how she was going to make them; "I just need to get two monkeys, pull their arms and legs off and pop them into the oven with butter - then they will be crispy brown potatoes"

I think it's hilarious when my four year old son ropes my two year old daughter into playing Pokemon with him, seeing them diving around the living room, throwing empty boxes (poke-balls) to make Pokemon with made up names battle each other is just a fab sight to peek at.

once I overheard my children age 6 and 2 playing 'funerals'.They were arguing over who's turn it was to die and my daughter (6) was telling my son (2) who will do anything she says because he worships her, to carry her coffin. I was slightly concerned at how they had come up with such a morbid game but my children are anything but normal! ;-s

My daughter wants to be an engineering princess, so she builds complicated structures (for a three year old), then makes these her castle.. she tells us what shape it is based upon, and mostly, me and the OH are the 'dirty rascals' in her 'circle' most!

My daughter has an obsession with dolls and babies. She once kept a baby wrapped up under her jumper for an entire day pretending to be Mary from the nativity. Funny looking back on it!!

DS1, now 6, is probably the most imaginative of my children. He had/has imaginary friends, called Bun and Rudd. Rudd is from Russia, Bun lives round the corner. But it's quicker to get to Rudd's house (in Russia) when they want to play, because he could just get in the plane at the bottom of the garden and fly there. To get to Bun's house he had to wait for me to walk him there.

Rudd seemed to be spoilt rotten, allowed unlimited screen time, and had an extensive range of toys and technology not known in these parts... :o

My DS is a Strictly superfan - he likes to make up the dances and I have to guess what they are. Last night, he upped the ante a little to combine two dances and I had to guess both. He is so creative and came up with the Ja-Ja-Ja (cross between jive and a cha-cha-cha) and the Saltz (salsa and waltz - a fascinating combo). It's great to see him unleashing his imagination!

DC1 and DC2 re-enacted DC2's first day in Reception last month, with DC2 as form teacher who pretended to squat on the classroom floor and do a wee.

We haven't yet found out what that bit of abstract theatre was supposed to represent.

My youngest DS used to live in a complete fantasy world. Once told my mum I was pregnant (I wasn't) and that when the baby came he would be it's dad and look after it and if it was naughty he would swop it for a bike. He invented words and got cross if you didn't know what he meant, for example he would ask for a rimple when he wanted a drink and a hopty when he wanted a snack.
At our first school parents night his teacher couldn't wait to tell us all the things he said on a Monday, when the class was asked to share what they had been doing at home over the weekend. Apparently we had been to the moon once and had bought a crocodile over half term ( these are the ones that have stuck in my memory). I really missed it when he grew out of this stage as we used to have some lovely times joining in his fantasy world.

My DS is obsessed with fire engines and spends a lot of the day running round shouting 'Mummy there's an EMERGENCY! There's a fire on Grandad/Grandma/The Cat' which we then have to rush to put out. I'm not sure what they are all doing that causes them to burst into flames every 5 minutes .

My 3yo just shouted 'QUICK mummy! Take cover! There's a giant BOWL and it's coming to get us!' It was ok, she got ginormous the dinosaur to chomp up the bowl 'chomp, chomp, chomp'

It made a nice change from the endless feeding, burping and changing of various babies!
