i make these fruit loops before going on a family trip. most hotel breakfast will have cereals as an option for breakfast and my older daughter always picks fruit loops, and that used to make clara really sad… but now, clara can have her own fruit loops on vacations. it is tedious to make these little circles, but it is worth the time and effort to see the big smile on clara’s face. this also can be used for some fun activities such as making fruit loop necklace using a string or sliding them through a kebob sticks with some berries.
