How to set it up

  1. Fold a paper menu: Cereal, Cereal with a smile, Cereal deluxe.
  2. Set out small bowls of cereal on the breakfast table.

Safety check

Pour a cereal your youngest already eats, and skip ones with raisins or chocolate if a dog can reach the table. Dry cereal keeps overnight. How we check
