Step 1: Collect Your Cereal-Making Supplies
Begin by gathering every item you’ll need. Grab a cereal box, bowl, spoon, and milk. Ensure your little cereal chef knows where these items are kept in the kitchen.
Step 2: Pour the Cereal
Show your child the right amount of cereal to pour into the bowl. Teach them to pour slowly to avoid overflow. Reinforce the idea that you can always add more later!
Step 3: Carefully Add the Milk
Milk should be poured gently into the bowl of cereal, enough to float the cereal but not submerge it. Nobody likes soggy flakes.

Step 4: Finishing Up
Once the cereal and milk are in the bowl and the ratio looks just right, hand them the spoon and watch their proud face as they dig in! Moreover, teaching them how to rinse their bowls and place them into the dishwasher is imperative. Hint: we have a class for that!
Step 5: Practice Makes Perfect
After the first few bowls, kids might get a little excited and sometimes forget the right amounts. However, after a few tries at managing cereal’s the crunch-to-milk ratio usually brings perfection.
