Due to its minimal mess factor and easy preparation, many parents choose cereal for their child's breakfast when they have to adjust their morning routines to accommodate them going back to school. However, like all products, once there is no more cereal left to consume, you're left with nothing more than an empty cardboard box.

The next time you finish off a box of cereal, we encourage you to reuse and repurpose it to help reduce the amount of waste produced each day! Check out some cereal box crafts you can do with your children below:

Cereal Box Puzzle
Using the front of your cereal box for your surface, outline your puzzle using a marker dark enough for the lines to be visible. Then, cut out each of the shapes and place them into a bag. Once they're mixed up, work with your child to put the pieces back together!

Cereal Box Map
Is your child in the process of learning the states? Once you've collected a few different cereal boxes, cut out one shape for each state. Then, using a blank map, paste each "cereal state" into their respective places and teach your child their names as you go!

Cereal Box Book Holder
Just in time for back to school, you can also use cereal boxes to create organization tools to help your child in the classroom. For a cereal box book holder, you must first remove the top edges of the box. From there, cut a diagonal line from the side to the top on both the front and back covers to create an opening where your child can easily access their books!
