Cut down on Mountain bowls cerealMeal prep for kids

I tend to do this when my kids start making mountains with their cereal bowls and in the summer so I can sleep in some more as I have an early bird ..
with states closing school, and stores can’t keep up on stocking right now. I wanted to share this tip . I found this on Pinterest years ago . It was for toddlers to help get more independent, but I have pre teens who like to eat me out of house and home . This is a good tip for special needs household as well. Can even have the kids do their own meal prep . Not to waste the bags , the bags get reused. After the kid makes the cereal bowl the bag goes back in the big ziplock bag for next time , for some kids this is a hard step to remember. I did 5 days at a time you can do more or less . More cereal can be added that’s just the amount I used , and each one is measured out so the kids don’t fight well he got more than me ... and did the same cereal .. you do you. I hope this is helpful to people. Would like to see pictures if you try it out.... it also saves money lol!

Steps
- 1
1 1/2 cup of cereal in each bag
- 2
Place bags in ziplock bags with kids name on them, place bags where you normally keep your cereal, for older kids you may have to hide the bags or box (the original cereal bags/boxes) so they don’t get more when your not looking..... just saying....

Notes- I had 2 bags opened so I used that. I was doing this for 2 children. If you didn’t want to do cereal all 5 or 7 days, you can put in a wrapped poptart, or wrapped breakfast bars, and they can pick what one they like to eat for that day... that is something I plan on trying out myself... my kids love pop tarts.

That way they also have different choices and can help save on milk too. For younger kids milk should be measured out and prepped as well in a locked container and kept in the refrigerator obviously 🙄
