Cereal Party Celebration

What do kids love about Saturday mornings?  Hanging out in their PJ's, eating cereal and watching their favorite cartoons.  Why not create a celebration using their favorite Saturday morning rituals.

A cereal party is perfect for an upcoming birthday, a back to school celebration or just a fun way to get friend together for fun.

Begin your planning with these simple ideas:

Friends:  Send out invitations. You can be as simple or creative as you would like from using cartoon characters on your invitations to using the single serve boxes of cereal with your party information attached to them.  Be sure to include date, time, location, attire ( PJ's) and to bring their favorite box of cereal.

Food: here are a few suggestions make it simple or extravagant as you choose:
Cereal ( the guest brought)
Juice
Milk
Baked goods - muffins, scones, donuts etc.
Create a topping bar including sliced fruits, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, mini marshmallows along with other toppings you choose.

Decorate:  Use bright colors and big cereal bowls

Fun:
Cartoons: Time the party around your kids favorite cartoons or have them on DVD to show during the party.

Games:  - Guess the number of pieces of cereal in a jar ( pour cereal in a clear jar).
- What cereal is it - Pour small amounts of cereal in a muffin tin and have the kids guess what cereal it is without touching or tasting it.  Be sure to number each muffin cup using a sticker or painters tape.
- Play a Trivia game using cereal facts from  the Breakfast bowl. Click here to go there now.

Crafts: - make cereal necklaces using fruit loops.

Favors To Take Home:  Give out cereal bowls and spoons along with a single serve box of cereal or provide Chinese boxes or zip bags to allow kids to create their own take home cereal mix to eat at home.

Have fun and enjoy your kids favorite Saturday morning rituals celebration style.
