Costa Coffee have just launched a brand new product – Perry the Penguin Gingerbread and to celebrate they invited 10 bloggers to take on the #PerryOnTour challenge which involved taking Perry on our adventures for three days.
Perry arrived in style by Eliza’s giant birthday balloon, although I am afraid to say that he didn’t last very long and may have been eaten by the excited birthday girl.
Thankfully Perry the Second was happy to step up to the plate (no pun intended) and joined in the fun at Eliza’s Birthday Party. Whilst Eliza and her friends made teddy bears he went off to explore and even had time for a selfie with Abbey!
Perry decided to make a rather menacing looking dinosaur for protection, but I am sad to report that after some high jinx with with some of the older party members that Perry the Second is no more. He did get to ride a balloon dog though.
Saturday morning saw us heading off for Isaac’s swimming lessons. Perry tagged along but was worried about going for a dip as didn’t want to get a soggy bottom so he built a Penguin out of Artec Blocks with Eliza whilst we waited for the lesson to finish.
Once back home Perry was introduced to the delights of Club Penguin and even got to dress up in an Octopus outfit just like his favourite character.
As we allowed Perry some computer time, it was only fair that he helped out with some household chores, ably instructed by Stuart the Minion, however not before cheering AFC Bournemouth on in their FA Cup match against Liverpool.
Perry had an issue settling on Saturday evening, but thankfully Ewan the Dream Sheep helped sooth him to sleep and he soon proved his worth the next morning by teaching me to make the perfect Costa Latte in my Tassimo machine. My plans to hit the beach were stalled thanks to a severe weather warning so we stayed at home and played games instead.

In the meantime check out my short video – Perry has been very busy!
Great house guest, I don’t think I’d want to eat him after all that, it would be like eating one of the pets!! Can I vote for your adventure?
Apart from being eaten I wanted to be Perry the Penguin – looks like he’s been having an amazing time! Hope Eliza had a great birthday.
My son will be very happy there is a new gingerbread ‘man’ coming soon! It looks like Perry had lots of fun with you all!
Bit of a large biscuit for a toddler! Hope she had a fabulous day 🙂
Great stuff – Perry looks very happy and very busy xx
It looks like Perry had great fun at yours – ours was bossy and liked his own way!
LOL Perry had quite a week!
That’s one busy penguin!
He looks like he had a great weekend! We had the class whale home from school this weekend so we have also been entertaining and photographing him, but not as tasty as a gingerbread 😉
Looks like Perry had a fab weekend on his tour! Well, apart from the first one being eaten of course 😉 Hope Eliza had a wonderful birthday 🙂
wow – looks like you and Perry had an amazing time! I adore Costa – their gingerbread lattes are just heavenly!
It’s good you’re honest – I’d love to know how many Perrys actually survived the week! 😀
Hahahahaha I love this idea and the fact she ate Perry the first (RIP)
It looks like you’ve had loads of fun!! I think more than one would disappear if he was in this house, he looks very tasty!!! Good luck!
Amazing he can come for coffee 😉
Wonderful post Kara, sounds like you’ve been busy beans with Perry! I hope Eliza had a great birthday. To be honest I’d be quite happy with a Costa coffee – love 🙂
I love that he’s been doing selfies!! Will keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂
This made me smile – it looks like Perry is having a fab time with you all!
This is so funny! Love the fact that ‘Perry’ keeps getting eaten and his replacement takes over! 🙂
Ooooooh! Did you get a limitless supply of Perry’s with which to make your blogumentary? drools
What a grand entrance he made! And he got up to so much!
Perry looks like he had a lot of fun at yours. We enjoyed him too x
So fun! Great pics and I love the concept behind this.
