Spring Flower Cereal Treats
After a long, cold winter like the one we just experienced, I think we are all thrilled to say goodbye to snow storms, winter coats and to see flowers finally popping up in the garden.
Spring also tends to bring a lot of rainy days before the summer heat arrives meaning more time spent indoors with “nothing” to do. Why not spend time together as a family creating memories while making food?
These Kellogg’s Rice Krispies treats are the perfect way to spend quality, creative time with your children in the kitchen. Kids of all ages can create and decorate yummy treats.

Now these look like they’d be so fun to make.. simple and not real messy lol. You are such a creative woman .. thank you so much for sharing that & you with us!
Beautiful, creative, and perfect for spring!
You are so crafty! I completely expected you to have used a cutter or template of some kind, but I shouldn’t be surprised to read that you just cut them out freestyle! They look great!
lol I just honestly figured it was easier to freehand them than spend ages looking for a cutter. 😛
