Free toys for kids at Wimpy

Animal Planet and Wimpy have joined forces to give kids an animal plush toy with every Food 4 Fun kids meal ordered at any Wimpy restaurant. Five games are also being given away during April and May 2012.

There are five plush animal toys to collect: a gorilla, polar bear, penguin, panda bear and rhino.

Food 4 Fun kids meals come with nutritional information on all menu items, including toasted sandwiches, chicken strips or nutrient-packed alternatives, such as seasonal salads.

Safari competition

In addition to the kids toy giveaways, there is also a competition on www.wimpy.co.za or www.wimpsa.mobi for a chance to win a weekend Safari at Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge for a family of four, as well as weekly prizes of WWF Adoption Kits and Wimpy vouchers. All you have to do is go to the competition page on Wimpy's website or mobi site and complete a very simple picture quiz. Visitors to Wimpy's website can also download a number of animal-themed wallpapers as well as play online games.
