NINE-YEAR-OLD Daniel Strain from Foxbar in Paisley executes a Ninja Turtle move as he gets ready for a visit to intu Braehead from the heroes in a half shell.

The children’s favourites will be joined by a host of other characters from the Nick Jr TV channel at the shopping centre during the Easter school holidays.

Youngsters will be able to learn ninja moves or create their own machine to join Blaze and the Monster Machines at the events taking place at intu’s shopping centres across the UK.

There will also be the chance to meet PAW Patrol’s Chase and Marshall, who will visit intu Braehead on April 11.

Families can hunt for more Nick Jr characters and experiences by using their smart devices to scan images they find within the centre, thanks to a free augmented reality game in the intu app.
