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!

DS pretends that she has a zoo and all the animals are played by shoes. She got very upset when I need to wear the tigers!

"Watching television" - they coloured in a scene in the inside of their cold bag lids, then propped them up on boxes and chairs and placed a chair opposite. Then put a CD on for the sound and sat "watching television" and discussing the programmes. I'm not sure what this says about my bad TV habit! But they do also do lots of more "normal" play like cooking, pirates, dressing up, etc and they are both very create and constantly making things.

DD(3) is a child of the 21st century. She plays at pretending to go on the computer and ordering things that the postman then delivers.

My daughter had me in stitches this summer. In our garden there's some lavender which bees buzz around and she was out playing with her teaset. She made 'tea' for the bees but was upset when they didn't drink it. Why won't they drink it? She asked me, I told her it was because they didn't have arms and she said How do they make honey if they don't have any arms?

I didn't know how to reply, haha :')

My 3 year old dd likes to get in the big bay window with the long curtains and pretends it's a stage.

She will fling the curtains open and act her "amazing and exciting singing show"

She then sings random songs for applause

Together with my boys aged 7 and 5, we watched an episode of an animal safari park afternoon program where a pregnant hippopotamus had to undergo an emergency cesarean section operation to deliver the baby hippo. From a slight distance the baby was shown sliding out. Shortly after I noticed that my two boys had our grey sleeping bag out and I watched in amused wonderment as one of them got inside it then the other unzipped it releasing the other in a slippery fashion similar to the birth of the baby hippo!

The funniest imaginary scene my little ones have performed is when a close relative of ours was pregnant they kept putting their babies up their tops and pulling them out pretending they had just given birth to them.

My son used to play with Wink, Link and snake his 3 imaginary friends. One of the funniest games we overheard was him telling wink off for making babies with snake who now could not join in games as he was just too fat.

My son got Batman and all the superheroes to creep across the roofs of all our Happyland buildings during some kind of 'war' once. He is superimaginative but a lot of it he mutters to himself so I don't always hear a lot of the details!

The funniest thing for me is when my daughter pretends to be something incredible boring. One day I caught her playing with excel on my laptop. When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was being an accountant like her aunt!

My son and daughter were playing Grandma and Grandad. My son was "Grandad" and he went to the shops to buy the wine!

My little boy is really into Shimmer and Shine at the moment and I caught him using an empty Pringles can as his special tool where his Genie magic comes out of. Haha.

my daughter is forever playing schools and a boy in her class is always in it, he seems to get told off alot in it.

My daughter (2) likes the play with her soft toys in her cot when she wakes in the morning. She's quite the disciplinarian and at least one of them is always in trouble for snatching/not sharing. Today: "No Sophie, you not playing nicely with Big Bear."

the boys love nothing more than demanding i make their 'pieces for work' in the morning. Then they are off pretending to be builders. They won't tell me what their building but keep saying 'it's a big job'.

I did catch my children play acting when they were little where my daughter was the boss and her brother had to work for her. She was making him fetch things for her and bring her drinks. But everything he did was wrong. So she said he was not very good so was fired (arm out pointing finger firmly at him). I think our mistake was letting her watch the apprentice a few days before!!

My 2-year-old is really into dragons. A few days ago there was an imaginary dragon chasing us both round her room "trying to eat our toes!" She then left the room and came back in holding the dragon's hand, explaining that it had a sore tummy from eating too many toes so she was taking it to the doctor.

My daughter pretends that her toys being naughty jumping on the sofa so she sends them to her room :)

Two 8 or 9yo boys known to me (not my own) would frequently do science experiments on each other. They'd be incredibly serious about it: the scientist holding a clipboard and wearing a lab coat (borrowed pinched from older sister). Most of these experiments involved the subject being blindfolded; perhaps to investigate if they could tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke, if they could identify objects by feeling them with their feet, or sniffing clothes to guess which family member they belonged to: this was in a kids' book of science experiments to explain about pheromones, I kid you not! They would often then descend into imaginary scenes, such as "and now I need to check you for the presence of aliens".

My young boys playing throwing rockets outside with my tampons - very embarrassing!

My daughter once told me there was a dragon flying around our house playing hide and seek with her, not too many places for a dragon to hide! haha! :)

We were happily playing with DD's dolls, and every time, one of them has to be ill in some way, here Dora the Explorer doll couldn't join in because, she had "pre-mental tension" and needed to go shopping to cheer herself up! :)

Since he lost his granny 4 years ago ds3 often makes up scenarios where he is playing with her. He will also say things like "Mummy, I remember when I went to the water park with Granny and she came down the flume with me". My mother was ill all his life and never did more than a lunch out with him. It nice he thinks she did though!

My daughter was playing happily in the bathroom so I left her to it when I went in she said that her mermaids had got caught in a whirlpool and needed rescuing as they couldnt move their tails..... she was flushing them down the toilet!!!

my children invented a game called crack the egg whilst playing on the trampoline, one had to curl up in a ball whilst the other jumped up and down to try and crack the egg (make them come undone from being curled up in a ball). I was very impressed with their imagination!
