My 3 year old daughter loves this cereal. She is really amazing at letter recognition, so we have been playing with our food lately! I will pour out a handful of Post Alpha-Bits Cereal on the coffee table, and we will arrange letters to spell out words. Our favorite spelling activity includes spelling out family members names. It had never occurred to me to use this cereal as a learning tool! The best part is, this cereal has amazing things in it, so I don't feel guilty letting her snack. I really love vitamins being sneaked into every day foods for my children. Check out the ingredients & nutrition label below.
