NOTE to Parents
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day as it replenishes our body’s energy. A healthy breakfast significantly improves mental and physical performance of both children and adults. Breakfast cereal is a food item that is often eaten as the first meal of the day. It is eaten hot or cold, usually mixed with milk and sometimes yoghurt or fruit.
Breakfast cereals are sold in attractive carton which can be reused to reduce solid waste. One example is the use of the empty breakfast cereal boxes to make a puzzle. It is a fun activity to teach your kids to recycle, be creative, cut along the lines, and take pride in making their own puzzle! Other food carton boxes can be used to replace breakfast cereal boxes
