Happy Tuesday. I’m excited to share this fun toddler activity where kids can make toddler trail mix. There is also a $15 giveaway at the end of this post. Don’t miss it!

I never intended to be a mom blogger. I promise! I started this blog years before the kids came along with the intent of never being a mom blogger. Whoops. I’ll have to balance out the kid posts with lots of drink reviews next week.
Last week (before the arm fracture- eek) I set out this spread for Robert to make his own trail mix. He had a blast! We used Cheerios, peanuts, coated chocolate candies, chocolate chips, raisins, and dried cranberries.
I made Multigrain Cheerios the hero of this trail mix because it’s a long time favorite of my kids. I hate spending a lot of money on prepackaged snacks so I’m constantly using Cheerios as a toddler snack. It was fun to add mixings to it and make it a little more fun.
I save tons of money by using Cheerios as a snack instead of buying highly processed toddler snacks. To make it even cheaper, Publix is offering a $1.00 off 2 boxes of General Mills Cereals coupon. Click here to get it!

Robert very much enjoyed making his own trail mix. He felt like he was doing something super special since he was able to make his own mix, while baby brother had to have plain Cheerios. It’s always fun to do something just for the big brother.
I tried to make it even more special by letting him put the trail mix in a clean take-out Chinese container. He loved carting around his snack in something other than a snack cup. He even called my husband and told him all about his “mix”.
Jackson really wanted in on the fun. He kept following Robert around begging for Cheerios!
Everyone can now enjoy the awesomeness of General Mills cereals because they just recently switched to gluten free! It’s never been an issue for my family, but I love that I can offer Cheerios to our gluten free play date guests now. Are you Cheerios obsessed like me?
Don’t forget to enter the $15 PayPal cash giveaway! Good luck!
I am most excited to buy Honey Nut Cheerios
I’d pick the chex cereal for the boys, but choose lucky charms for myself! :)
Right? I was very tempted to try Lucky Charms this week to see if they taste different now that they are gluten free. Lol.
I want to try the gluten-free corn chex cereal, thanks for the chance :)
I want to try the Honey Nut Chex. They look delicious!
My hubby loves Honey Nut Cheerios!
My toddler insists on having Cheerios every morning, so a deal on those is always great!
Toddlers love themselves some Cheerios, don’t they? We go through them very quickly!

My girls would love making this trail mix! They’re traditionalists though so they’d want the regular cheerios!
Lucky charms seems delicious :) Colourful and probably sweet.

GREAT idea! I am hosting a hike for our homeschool preschool next week, and this will be a perfect snack for all the kids on the trail.
It would! A homeschool preschool sounds lovely. You must have fun with the kiddos!

Oh I am so excited for the Honey Nut Cheerios and Lucky Charms being gluten free! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 10 years ago now. I am so excited to be able to eat these again! I have missed them!

I would like to try chocolate Cheerios.
Those two cuties! I love the idea of putting the trail mix in take out containers. So fun! I want to do this for jack but he won’t touch anything chocolate. Maybe I’ll try yogurt chips.
Lucky! I wish mine didn’t like chocolate. They steal all of mine!
I am excited to try the chocolate Cheerios.
Thanks for the chance to win!
