My kids eat cereal for breakfast almost every morning. They don’t always like the healthiest cereal either. I’d love to get them to eat healthier choices of cereal for breakfast. I don’t always have time to make them a nice breakfast so normally we just eat cereal. Luckily Alpha-Bits came to the rescue.
Alpha-Bits are a nutritious and delicious breakfast for children. They have 20g of whole grains and 12 essential vitamins and nutrients per 30g serving. The Alpha-Bits are letters of cereal that can turn breakfast time in to educational time as well. They even contain nutrients that support healthy brain development like zinc and iron.
My youngest daughter (Tesla) really loved the cereal. She loved that it had letters of the alphabet in it. She doesn’t know what letters are what yet but with this cereal I’ll be able to help her out. She’s almost three years old and she’s very smart. I think with some help from this cereal I’ll be able to at least teach her the letters of her name.
There are so many different ideas you could use this cereal for. You don’t have to just use it for eating. You could make some crafts with your children or even some treats. Either way you can use them to help with their education. We decided to make a family tree to help the kids with the letters as well as knowing how a family tree works.
My daughters are 2 (almost 3) and 4 years old. I had to help them out with the family tree since they don’t know their letters just yet. Mercades (4-year-old) is in preschool and learning her letters so I thought this would be a great product for her. I wanted to teach them about the family tree and help them learn their letters as well. This is a great product for writing letters out and having your child try to find the ones that match.
There are so many ways you can use this cereal. My daughters and I will be using this for more creative ideas as well. I know I’d love to make some kind of recipe with them with this cereal. Below is a great recipe you can do for Thanksgiving with your kids. I want to make this with my kids when it gets closer to Thanksgiving. As some of you know my daughter is allergic to milk so I want to look around at other ideas that would be safe for her as well. I was thinking instead of the chocolate candies we could use Skittles since she can’t have chocolate because it’s got milk it in. There are so many ideas that you can create with Alpha-Bits. I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with your very own creation too.
When it gets closer to Thanksgiving I would love to do this recipe with my children. I will have to substitute a few of the items with something else since my daughter is allergic to milk but I think this will be a great Thanksgiving craft/recipe idea.
Another idea my daughters and I were thinking of doing is some place mats for Thanksgiving. We want to trace everyone’s hands and make them like turkeys and use some of the letters for their names on the place mats. This way everyone has their own place mat for where they sit at. The photo below is just an example of what we made from my own hand.
There are a lot of items you can come up with for Thanksgiving/Fall. These were just a few of the projects I did with my daughters. Alpha-Bits is more than just cereal. It’s an educational food as well. I’d love to see what you come up with or any ideas you may have.

What a cute idea for helping our Littles learn their letters! The Gobble mix is something I’m going to add to our snacks for this season! Awesome!

I used Alpha- bits to teach my daughter how to spell her name and she enjoyed so much that i bought and extra box for 1 to eat and 1 to spell words with. There are so many possibilities that you can do with Alpha-bits, and it is a wholesome good cereal too. Thank you for sharing

I love the hand turkey idea! So unique! My daughter has snack day coming up, so this would be perfect and the pre-schoolers can spell their names from the alpha-bits in the hands! Great fun!
