I have to applaud the inventiveness of cereal creators. They do so many fun things with cereal to make it more appealing to children. My kiddos do not eat “sugar” cereals often, but when they do, this is definitely a hit. The swirls are very fun, but more than that, ask them one question in reference to this cereal and you will get quite a bit of entertainment…
“How do you think they made them swirl like that?”
Try it with your family (and leave a comment here to be entered to win a prize pack…but more on that in a minute) and you’ll get some very fun results.
Trix Swirls is a good source of Vitamin D and calcium and comes in some great fruity combinations…including lemony green, berry berry blue, and rasporangey orange.
I have a fun Creative Kid gift basket to offer to one very lucky commenter. This great prize pack includes a sample of Trix Swirls along with a colorful apron, a set of watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, a sketchbook, and an art supply box.

I think the colors got mixed up in the wash. They think that a rainbow fell out of the sky and made large colorful puddles that splashed and mixed together.

What great answers! I don’t think I saw this one…. There was a truck full of Trix going one direction and a truck going another, they swerved, but couldn’t avoid a collision with a helicopter full of milk. The three collided and the helicopter blades swirled everything around.
