Kung Fu Panda fun!

Note:  This giveaway is now closed!

It's been a long while since I've been able to host a giveaway but today I'm back with something fun! This one is brought to you by General Mills and DreamWorks through MyBlogSpark!

For any of you with small kiddos, I'm sure you're already familiar with the movie, Kung Fu Panda. We watch a lot of Nick Jr around here and I've been seeing lots of commercials talking about Kung Fu Panda 2 coming out in theaters next week!

To promote the movie throughout the spring, spin fighter toys featuring character from Kung Fu Panda 2 can be found inside specially marked boxes of participating General Mills cereals, such as Cocoa Puffs, Trix, Golden Grahams, Reece's Puffs, Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Cookie Crisp, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Nut Cheerios.

Last week, our family was sent a fun prize pack to review which included one participating Big G cereal (in our case, it was a box of Cocoa Puffs), a Kung Fu Panda 2 spin fighter toy and the original Kung Fu Panda movie, which we hadn't yet seen.


I was amazed to find upon opening the package that Alyssa already knew that a spin fighter could be found in the box of cereal.  Marketing techniques definitely worked on my kid, lol!

If you'd like to win a prize pack just like we did, here's what you can do...

Leave me a comment on this post telling me if you've seen the original Kung Fu Panda movie.  If so, tell me who your favorite character was.  If you've never seen the movie, you can just tell me who you'd take with you to see the new movie!

For extra entries, you can also...


*follow my blog using Google Friend Connect
*blog about it (be sure to leave me a link to the post)
*Facebook the giveaway
*Tweet the giveaway (again, be sure to leave a link to your tweet)

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each thing you do so that I can use Random.org to select a winner. I'll leave this giveaway open until Sunday, May 22nd at 11:59 p.m. and will announce the winner sometime Monday afternoon!  Happy entering!

P.S.  I was provided by General Mills and DreamWorks the prize pack, information and additional prize pack through MyBlogSpark.  Thanks so much for this fun opportunity!  My girls loved it!

It's been so very long since we've seen KFP I really couldn't tell you the character's names, SO I would take my husband to see the movie.

That's so neat that they sent you the movie! I don't think I've seen all of the first one, but the girls have it and have watched it. I think Madison is seeing that movie next week when they go on their field trip to the movies. :) LOL about marketing working on Alyssa. My girls are always quoting commercials. It cracks me up. For the longest time, they kept telling me we needed touch and brush and they would quote the commercial on the benefits of it. Haha!
