Rice Krispies and Treats for Toys: Giving Back is Simple and Important Because Every Child Should Have a Gift This Year! #TreatsForToys
Rice Krispies and Treats for Toys.
Let’s not forget the Salvation Army too.
They are all helping a child enjoy a toy this holiday season and guess what? You are a part of this integral process of giving back and giving selflessly. Yes, YOU. If you’ve followed along, you can see our Rice Krispies creations that we’ve made this year. It is as easy as buying ingredients that you need to make Rice Krispie treats and creating Princess Sweetums, Robo Rob, Vinny Vroom or anything that your heart desires.
You Can Help.
By doing that, you are helping Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and the Salvation Army give a child a toy this holiday. We believe that every child should have a toy during the holidays. After all, it’s the memories they will cherish forever.
It’s simple and it brings your family together and it’s as easy as uploading one pic to your favorite social media networks that you are already on! Twitter, IG or Facebook! Gabby explains it all in the video above!
Jingle All the Way!
We created Sammy the Snowman for our #TreatsForToys creation! We adorned him with fruit leather, chocolate chips, cranberries and a marshmallow top hat. He was simple to make and super delicious for a treat afterwards! Something as small as this can make a huge difference in a life of a child.
It’s the perfect opportunity to show your little ones the importance of giving during the holidays and as often as they can. I explained to Gabby and Mimi why we were making treats and why we were sharing them.
I explained to them that not every child has a tree or much less gifts to go under it. For this reason, Kellogg’s and the Salvation Army have teamed up together to help a child have a present this year. The girls reflected and were taken aback. Gabby understood the significance of giving when you can and Mimi thought it was sad but, were happy to have a small part in giving this year.

I'm thinking a skyline might be nice. There's no way I can screw up a bunch of rectangular cubes. Plus, I'll feel like Godzilla when I eat them! =D
Hahaha, I love that!
This is a wonderful idea. All kids should have a toy at Christmas time. I'm thinking a Rudolph might be something cool to try to make.
Oooh, great idea!
Love that Kellogg's does this! Love your snowman, it is very cute!
Thank-you!
I really love this campaign! Rice Krispie treats is something my family loves, and I think your snowman is adorable. My son would like your Minecraft inspired idea.
My daughter is obsessed with Minecraft!
Oh my goodness…I so want to make that snowman out of Rice Krispies now. I'm just afraid he wouldn't last long in the house.
Ours did not last long either!
I don't think I would have the patience for that princess but will definitely give the snowman a try. Looks easy enough!
The Princess is a bit challenging but, anything else works too!
What a great way to give back. I'm thinking turtle, or possibly another animal shape that is very difficult to mess up. =D
Good idea!
I love, love, love this. I remember about seven years ago we lost everything and that Christmas was only possible because of donations. Now we love to give back 🙂
Awww, that is great to hear.
I love this program, I'm glad it's back this year. Such an easy way to donate!
SUPER easy!
My tot just saw these and wants to build a snowman! What a great initiative.
My recent post Remember The First Days…
Awww, it is a great way to give back!
It is amazing what can be done with a rice Krispie treat, huh? VERY cool snowman!
So versatile!
I love your rice krispies snowman!! So darn cute!
Thanks!!
This is awesome! I want to make some Lego treats. Too cute!

What a great idea for such a great cause. No child should have to go without especially at Christmas.
I agree! 🙂
This is such a great campaign. It really would be great if all kids had a present this year.
I think all kids should!
This is such a yummy looking snowman. I will be making some stars.
