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!

DD is 2 but at the moment appears to be channeling Gollum from Lord of the Rings as she keeps saying "precious" in a really gutteral voice. I don't think she's even seen the film I think she must have heard one of us say it and just liked the way that it sounded.

My daughter likes to mimic others, one day she started speaking in a Scottish accent copying her uncle. Very hard to keep a straight face!

It's hard to choose just one but it might be when we were driving and making up stories about the scenery (long journey!) DH mentioned we had to watch out for squirrels because the sign said 'warning squirrels' DD asked if my window was wound up, if her daddy's window was wound up and if her sister's window was wound up, checking that hers was wound up. I asked why? She said "So the squirrels can't throw their nuts at us!" Completely random and out of the blue. What a wonderful imagination she has

DD4 loves to recreate scenarios that have happened at school that day, via role play with her dols and teddies. I find it fascinating to eavesdrop and get a fuller picture of what goes on in her class. I've been a bit shocked to hear about the incidents of poo smearing by one little boy in the class, though...

School is the biggest one. We have a wipe board, trays, our own school books (hubbie & i) & lollipop sticks. All completely copied from school. We even have our own register!

When DD was about 4 she and her friend made up a test at a family party to see who was "sabled" and who was dis-sabled" they produced a bean bag and made my parents and their friends (all in their 60s or more) get up out of the bean bag without using their hands. Then they turned on my friends (in 30s) and tested them. (I was exempt apparently because I have a blue badge (but for a condition which does not affect my ability to get out of a bean bag!). But I kept quiet and enjoyed the spectacle) They then ranked them in order of sabled ness (which had no relation to any disabilities that people had, or physical fitness) and awarded prizes for the most most dis-sabled to "help them get better (like a teddy to cuddle when they felt poorly, and a pack of tissues to blow their noses) it was very funny but totally surreal as only little ones can be. (It was as random as the new PIP assessments unfortunately!) Everyone took it in good spirit thankfully as we aren't a healthy bunch in the most part!

DD had an imaginary friend who went everywhere with us. Whatever I did the imaginary friend was always not where I thought - hardly surprising as I couldn't see her. So I'd let her in the door before closing it and she'd already walked in or I'd close the door thinking she's already walked in to be told I'd shut her out. Sometimes she ate with us and sometimes not. Not was usually when I put food out for her and it was always accompanied by "You are silly, mummy". I could never win and thankfully she now seems to have out grown her firend.

DS's have started playing turbo slides in various flat cupboards. Not sure of the ins and outside but it involves shouting turbo slide then falling out.

Let's play make up Mummy!

my son told me about the time we are all sat around a table on a different planet with aliens eating xmas dinner but all they served was sprouts!

my DD is only 19 months but somehow and god knows where, she has learn the word 'condom'....I think this is some variation of CARDIGAN, as she says it when she is pretending to dress her dollies....SO AWKWARD!!

DS2 and DD like to play cafes a lot at home, they take turns taking orders and making up the meals in the play kitchen. They have lots of play food packets but I often find tins and boxes missing from our real kitchen and ending up in theirs . They used to take fresh food as well sometimes, but that thankfully stopped after we found some mouldy fruit festering away.

My kids were playing 'mums and dads' when aged about 3 and 6 years old when they rushed downstairs, my DS grabbed my car keys and said 'my waters have broken so we need to get to the hospital'. Loved the fact that he was the one having the baby!!

My little one likes me to be a dinosaur and he's a Dinosaur hunting Power Ranger which changes to Dinosaur blasting Iron Man which changes to a swashbuckling Dinosaur hating Pirate. My Dinosaur character changes type, shape and colour throughout as he keeps changing it.

My daughters play teachers with their dolls and teddys- the funniest occasions are when they are being angry teachers and going mad at the teddys

When my son was 3 he and his little friend loved playing mummies and daddies. There they were in his little wigwam with his play tea set and doll with me smugly thinking how beautifully they were playing together (and enjoying a cup of coffee uninterrupted). Listening in, the game went something like this:
Little girl: Glass of wine?
My son: No, I think I'll have a cherry brandy.
Little girl: I'm going to have a beer.
They organise their drinks then decide to attend to their 'baby' who has woken up. They emerge from the tent and head upstairs.
Me: Where are you going?
My son: We're going to hospital. I dropped the baby on its head.

They then proceed to argue about who should carry the baby. Little girl thinks it should be held properly whilst my son thinks holding it by the ankle is fine. I should point out that this was just after Christmas and we have a family tradition of cherry brandy on Christmas Eve and nothing gets past my son!

We play Superheros Vs Supervillians.. for the past few months it's just been a case of tying a throw or a towel around our necks and then chasing each other around the house.. The Villian sets up evil things, such as a toy near the edge of a table, or a teddybear on the railway tracks (we make up a lot of stuff) and it's up to the hero to go around and fix them all, the finally catch the villian. For Xmas, we've created superhero logos which we plan to iron on to capes we've bought from eBay :) Should be a fun way to extend this weekly tradition!

Some images of the cape logos :D

My son likes to pretend he is a different animal everyday. He will jump like a frog, roar like lion, run like a cheetah and eat grass (yes really!) like a cow.

Be careful if Jane gets near your behind... she'll end up eating your 'chocolate bottoms' 😂

My 2-year-old daughter has a toy kitchen with a cooker hood. She takes the cooker hood off and talks into the bit that holds it up; she thinks it's the McDonalds drive thru order point so she'll stand there and order six boxes of nuggets for everyone and beans for herself

Dd2 asked me "do you remember the earthquake mummy, sixty eighty thousand years ago at night? We had to run downstairs in our pyjamas".
I don't think pyjamas were around sixty eighty thousand years ago, whatever that means.

Dd has hours of fun with fuzzy felts! They have wonderful names like Atlantis and meelacoshka!! They are all very busy working in shops during the day but when the night falls they prime the streets looking for foxes and badgers to eat! Weird!

Funny afterwards but not at the time. After coming back home from her first ever holiday abroad with us, my 4 year old and I were walking our dog together on a very wet, cold and rainy afternoon. She was picking up snails along the way (this is completely usual for her) and telling them that it would be very nice if they could all go on holiday to get out of the wet and cold.

By the time we got home she was bouncing along, thrilled to bits with herself that she had 'taken all the snails on holiday mummy! They've been for a ride in an aeroplane and now they're coming to stay with us!" There were 24 snails in total stuffed into her coat pockets. Some looked a little worse for wear after their 'holiday'!

My son (3) has conversations and pretends to be myself and his daddy etc and does the voices so he does a high pitched voice for me and a low voice for daddy and has a whole conversation - it's really funny to listen to!
