Review & Giveaway: Trix Swirls Are Definitely for Kids!

trix-swirls_smThe new box of Trix Swirls® was on the pantry shelf for a nano second before the preteen found it. She has a nose for the sweet things. I implored her to please save some for her older sister and younger brother. She gave me a look of “Who me?” I gave her a look of “Yes, you!”
Trix Swirls® combines two mouthwatering fruity colors into every fun puff that will satisfy kids´ taste buds and spark their creativity! A good source of calcium and vitamin D, the Trix Rabbit won´t be the only one who can´t resist these fruity combos, which include lemony green, berry berry blue, and rasporangey orange!

The cereal was a hit. The family verdict was a huge thumbs up. I think the box was devoured in 2 sittings — breakfast AND breakfast for dinner.
I was also given a Trix Swirls® Creative Kid gift basket that included a sample of the product along with a colorful apron, a set of watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, a sketchbook, and an art supply box.
I have two art supply baskets from Trix Swirls® for two of my readers. Leave a comment letting me know how your children think the Trix Swirls®
came to be: Did the different colors dance with each other? Did the colors bump in to each other?

    Hmm…a magically cereal King [Mr.Fruity] smooshed the two colors together with his spoon because his Trix was too boring.

    My kidlets think Trix Swirls were created when there was no more milk in the house and they had to use orange juice. When the orange juice hit the Trix, WHEEEEEEE!!!!! it exploded into brilliant flourescent colors and became Trix Swirls!! Thank you for the contest!

    A magician boy was tired of eating individual colors, so he swirled them in his bowl and they all swirled!
