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 toddler had a day of tantrums last week. By the afternoon dog walk I was prepared to do anything to avoid any more screaming. So there we were in the countryside me running along barking being her puppy while she proudly held the lead and gave me instructions. Sit mummy dog, you can have a treat mummy dog etc..I was fully engaged in her imaginative dog world...when a loud laugh interrupted the game...teenagers walking home from school were very entertained...The shame!

My DD was sat with me on the train when she lifted her top up and put her doll to her chest, I asked what she was doing she said dolly is hungry am feeding her like you do with Levi (her baby brother). I have never fed in public so no idea why she decided to do it on a packed train.

my DD used to pretend that she was shopping and couldn't decide which items she wanted to buy that day

My DD (2) LOVES her 'babies' - she has about 5 different dolls. She's named each one, pretends to dress them / brush their hair / take them for walks / reads tto themetc. She even changes their nappies and always says 'it stinks!' whilst doing so. So great to watch!

the day they played serial killers with playmobil does stick in my mind. Ds (8) had a police set for Christmas, and so wanted the 'baddest baddies' for the police to catch...so DD (then 9) suggested a princess could be a 'deadly murderer.' She literally stabbed the residents of playmobil town with the points of her crown 'killer crown'
Luckily the police caught her and slung her into jail.

Actually I have to tell you about my sister here rather than my son as this one is legendary within the family! She was once caught in the act of playing "million ton vest" which involved crawling along the floor groaning loudly with the struggle of wearing this thing! This still crops up in conversation 35 years later!

For 4 days my DS1 pretended to be a squid, he had to walk to nursery like one squirting black ink and people we walked past! I had to hold his tentacles rather than his hand and help him open his water bottle!

My son and I built a spaceship from a big box we had, complete with rocket boasters and windows. Walking past his bedroom on day I overheard him shouting "oh no not the Death Star! They can't steal Brewer, he's my bear!"

Apparently they evaded capture just in time for lunch

My little girl is absolutely obsessed with my best friends pregnancy...she loves seeing the scan photos and hearing how big the baby is, so last week we heard her shouting to her Daddy; "Daddy, I'm pregnancy!" (not pregnant!) and she waddled outside with her dollys legs hanging out of her top. Another time, we heard loud singing coming from our two youngest...we walked upstairs, and found them in the middle of my youngest's wedding to a Peperami Fanimal. I love the weird games they play!

All 3 of mine (ages 9, 6 and 3) have spent the morning playing minecraft in the front room. A plastic box and quilt combo has become a teleporter, the 3 year old spent about an hour digging up the carpet for pink ore, as the older two went through the nether portal and battled the stuff that were spawning in the fireplace.

They had enderdragons as pets and to travel on, too

My son loves to be Skateboard Man at the moment.
From what I can tell he's a (slightly rubbish) superhero, who uses any object on wheels to skateboard (badly) to the rescue of some unknown drama.
He normally falls off within seconds but "Don't worry, Skateboard Man to the rescue...!" and he climbs back on.
Skateboard Man also sings his own theme tune loudly as he's going, so he's not modest either.
My son is 3.

My little girls (3 yrs & 18months) love to dress up, I often see them dressing up in their fancy dress costumes. Funniest time was when she dressed up as a police officer and she had her serious face on and she said to me in a very serious stern voice "ello ello what's going on here, you been a very naughty girl, your nicked mummy" then she gave me the cheekiest grin ever. My 18 month loves trying on grown up shoes, she once put my husband size 10 trainers on, it was such a funny sight seeing my little toddler trying to walk in these massive size 10 men's trainers

My 3 year old nephew was seeing the Dr to order some white things for his Mommy's bottom, he continued to explain that you see them in the bathroom but not very often.

After spending the week with my
Sister and 5 dogs, i thought my 2 year old and i would have quality craft time together. I got the play dough out and started rolling it as he requested.

He then put the lumps dotted around the floor. He then said "wait a minute" got his pretend chef hat from the dressing up box and put it on his hand." oh no" he said "ive got to pick all the poo up" and preceded to start picking up yhe dog poo play dough with his pretend bag (white hat) and put it in the bin. I eas in hysterics at his amazing new game hed picked up from spending the week withmy sister and dogs.

My DS (3) built a wall of wooden blocks across the doorway to his bedroom and explained to me with seriousness that it was to keep the dinosaurs out.

my 6 year old son had a pretend chainsaw, his dads long shirt on with no pants and a bobble hat on and had his 3 year old sister and 4 and 7 year old brothers lined up on their knees pretending they were sheep and was walking them into a pretend pen and shearing them with the chainsaw and then started flipping them over onto their backs to wash them while they were "bleating" away and he was shouting at them for being wriggly lamb chops that if they weren't good they were going on his dinner.

Dd1 sat in a box going vroom vroom "I'm the car and mummy, you can be the pavement next to the car"
Thanks

Dd often makes a 'volcano', which is basically the majority of her toys under her duvet (v annoying....) and then her in there too with some battery operated candles. She says 'shhushh mummy, I'm a volcano, I'm busy'

We live in a countryside area and my son, three, has been brainwashed into liking pokemon by my husband. Cue us having to go hunt real pokemon in the fields, except he is terrified of actually finding any and hides in my legs when he hears a noise (but still asks to go every day)!

When the 1 year old feeds her dolly, strokes it gently with a sighing 'ahhhhh' then smacks it in the face with what can only be described as rage! I don't think she's copying mama :)

When my son was small we were at a train crossing waving to the train and my son told me he was on the train and he was going to London to visit the queen he then told me in great detail how he was given lunch and allowed to sit on the throne and wear the crown before coming back home on the train, the fact he didnt leave his puchchair whilst we were out hadn't actually occured to him

DD tried to make a "foam room" that she could bounce off the walls in so she got every sanitary pad in the bathroom and stuck them to the wall in an attempt to achieve it!! I laughed so much when I saw it and had to leave it there for DH to see when he got home, he was confused to say the least at our new decoration.

Dinosaur tea party

Concrete! Funny!

I once caught dd sat on the stairs with her top up, pretending to feed her Peppa soft toy.

Ds1 and dd regularly have emergencies-their pretend fire phone goes off and they organise fire engines going to put out the fires, including very elaborate instructions to the other firefighters!

My children like building dens with blankets and cushions. They use pegs to hold the blankets together and hide under them and play.
