I have loved reading all my life and when I was a child one of my favourite authors was Roald Dahl. Baby has inherited our love of books and so we were thrilled to be invited to the Messy Adventure organised by Persil in collaboration with the Roald Dahl team.
The event was organised to highlight a new interactive story app, which brings the Roald Dahl magic to life, by putting your child at the centre of the story. Free to play, the stories will encourage families to get outside and explore this summer. The ‘My Messy Adventure’ story can be accessed on a smartphone or tablet
We ventured to London to find out which messy adventure would be awaiting us.
The team certainly got into the spirit!
Our first stop was the park to listen to the story tellers and to create a potion that killed the witch! Baby found the witch wandering about sniffing the air as little odd.. The story-teller read the Dahl novels from tablets using the app and the children were in control as they were challenged by the characters they met to complete messy challenges and tasks, such as hunting bugs or collecting dry leaves. The path they took determining their journey through the story.
Her demise was very dramatic!
After the story telling it was time for lunch, with delights such as feathered friend pie served with purple mash, dirt burgers, chocolate fudgewhipple wonder, edible worms and blue jelly.
The witch was reincarnated to read stories over lunch.
Baby has developed quite a thing for saying cheers and chinking her cup against ours!
After lunch, we headed back out to the park for an obstacle course. Baby had to sit it out being only two!
Specially branded Persil small & mighty wash packs will be available in store from July 1st 2015, inviting families to embark on their own Roald Dahl interactive stories this summer. Persil will also be giving families the chance to win an exclusive Roald Dahl inspired Messy Adventure this summer.
I have a Matilda themed goody bag to giveaway to one lucky reader. The goody bag includes the Matilda paperback, Magical Mischief (magic set) and a Whipple scrumtious word game all in a lovely Matilda bag.
