General Mills "Cereal Box Prize" Review and Giveaway

Growing up I remember fighting with my brother over who got the toy in the Cereal Box.  I don't remember how we worked it out but I recall having my fair share of prizes.  

Right now each participating brand of General Mills cereals is offering a free Mega Bloks car with a set of Hello Kitty and Power Rangers stickers and instructions to cut out a pattern to construct a cardboard jump from the cereal box. This car is COMPLETELY customizable.   Let the arguments commence!  

When we received our sample, Miss E. opened the box and found the toy.  At first she was upset because the car was completely bare.  I explained that she could decorate the car - she then noticed the "Hello Kitty" stickers and her eyes lit up.  We are both big fans of Hello Kitty :)  Within minutes we had a completely jazzed up car!

Oh, and a great way to prevent those pesky arguments?  Buy two boxes!

This promotion is running through Monday 12/01.  While you are out holiday shopping this weekend, don't forget to stop for groceries!  Make sure to pick up a box of your favorite General Mills Cereal.

Participating Brands:
- Honey Nut Cheerios
- Reese’s Puffs
- Cocoa Puffs
- Lucky Charms
- Golden Grahams
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch

For a little fun, check out the video below!  General Mills partnered with Maker Dad – Mark Frauenfelder – to rev up the breakfast table with a Rube Goldberg style contraption seen in this video made entirely of General Mills Mega Bloks cereal boxes. http://bit.ly/Fandamonium 



Thanks to General Mills I have a giveaway for my readers - One lucky, random winner will receive a a $50 Target gift card, an exclusive Mega Bloks collective car kit and participating Mega Bloks cereal boxes.

It has been so long since I had a prize in a cereal box! I can;t recall what they were really but I do know that was what drew me to certain boxes.

My favorite cereal box toy was a scuba diver that you filled with baking soda. The bubbles made him float up and down.

My favorite is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The one toy that I remember and loved was a siren whistle that when you blow into it, it made the sound of a siren. Thanks so much.

My favorite cereal, especially when I was a kid, is and was Lucky Charms. I would save all the marshmallows for last.

I like Total best. I can't remember anything about the toys, other than the fact that the box never closed right after we fished them out, so Mom always knew. :)

Thank you for the contest. I love when General Mills adds books to the boxes of cereal. This can help a family build a library for their little ones even if they cannot afford to purchase a new book. Often, cereal can be purchased from various resources. The books are great for children learning how to read.
