Do your kids make their own breakfast in the morning?  Depending on what day of the week it is, I either have time to make scrambled eggs or I have time to toss my son something to eat in the car.
We saw that a few of the Kellogg’s cereals have these super cool Avenger’s flyer discs inside and so we just had to have them. While I was at the store I grabbed a package of small plastic bowls with lids as well because I thought, why can’t he just make his own cereal?

Breakfast Station

Make a DIY Breakfast Station

To make a simple kids breakfast station, just grab your kids favorite cereal (I like Fruit Loops because my kids love it and it is low in sugar) and fill up one cup in an airtight container. Keep the bowls and a few other breakfast options in a drawer that they can easily access.

Then, put a gallon of milk in a container with a spigot. Show them how they can easily take the lid off and pour milk themselves right into the bowl.

The great thing about the milk container is that the liquid comes out VERY slowly. It almost seemed like it was impossible to overfill the bowl. Kelloggs Collage As much as I love being needed as a mommy, I do appreciate teaching my children a tiny bit of independence. Showing them how to make a quick breakfast is no different than teaching them to tie their own shoes or put dishes away.

It’s good for them! Plus, it gives them a bit more appreciation for all the things mom and dad do for them. For the mornings that I have overslept or we just aren’t moving as quickly as we’d like, having the option for my son to grab his own breakfast is fantastic!

  1. This is so clever! I never would have thought of such a thing. 🙂 Totally good for the kiddos to learn to be more self-reliant, as well.

  146. So far summer hasn’t officially started for one of my kids since she opted, voluntarily, to do 2 weeks of summer school. Usually we spend a ton of time outdoors and at the beach during the summer so once school is out completely for her that’s where we’ll be.

  148. This is a cute idea, but I feel I must point out that Fruit Loops are definitely not low in sugar. Sugar is the first listed ingredient, and one serving has as much sugar (12g) as one and a half peanut butter cups (8g each)! OK as an occasional treat, but probably not a good way to start most days…
