Penguins of Madagascar Prize Pack Review and Giveaway

by Stefany on July 29, 2010

Can you think of anything your kids would like more than cereal and toys… together???

Thanks to General Mills, you now have a chance to give your kids two things they love. Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you will find something super fun for your kids! All you have to do is make sure they are ready to “commence operations” with one of the five characters from the Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box. Some of these include the following:

* Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you’ll be squid bait.

* Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.

* Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.

* Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin’ troops, earn those wings!

Each character has a specific role unique just to them. Collect all five character launchers and then get the kids ready to complete all the missions!

My kids absolutely love these Penguin launchers. Johnny thinks they are so funny! There is no doubt that they all love the General Mills cereal, Trix, we received. I was asked to give them that for breakfast for a week straight! Finally, the new movie we were sent, The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premier is so cute and your kids will love it as much as mine do!

Thanks to General Mills and Nickelodeon, I am able to give one of you the same prize pack I received. In it, you will receive a box of Trix cereal, a Penguins of Madagascar Launcher, and the new Penguins of Madagascar movie, The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premier.

Here is how to enter:

For your first comment, let me know who you want to win this prize pack for. What Penguins character is your child’s favorite?
