Kellogg’s new Animal Planet cereal – it’s WILD!
Kellogg’s and Animal Planet have paired up to bring you Wild Animal Crunch, a whole grain, vanilla and chocolate flavored cereal. Wild Animal Crunch is one of Kellogg’s first cereals to meet the their new Global Nutrient Criteria. It has 14 grams of whole grains, 3 grams of fiber, 100 calories, 1 gram of fat and 8 grams of sugar per serving.
The folks at Kellogg’s sent us a box to try. As a mom, I’m not thrilled with the amount of sugar, though it’s better than most. I thought the cereal was o.k., but the kids found it delicious. Nathan and Lucie had bowls and bowls of it during every breakfast and snack until it was gone – about three days. I’m surprised it took them that long.
Besides the tie in with Animal Planet, eating Wild Animal Crunch is fun because it comes in animal shapes. This would be a great cereal to snack on while watching Animal Planet’s Meerkat Manor. It would also make a very portable snack to take to the zoo, camping, or hiking to go see animals out in the wild.
Take a Wild Animal Journey with Books
You don’t need to leave the house to go on safari. You can read Meet the Meerkat
- The Giraffe Who Was Afraid of Heights
– a tale of a giraffe who’s scared of heights and two of his animal friends who have their own fears to overcome (read my review)
- Tudley Didn’t Know
– the story of a painted turtle who adopts other animals behaviors (read my review)
- ‘Twas the Day Before Zoo Day
by Catherine Ipcizade and illustrated by Ben Hodson. This book is an adaptation of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas and shares zoo keeper and animal preparations for the upcoming “Zoo Day.” Like all Sylvan Dell books, their website features a PDF of the For Creative Minds (PDF) book section, along with Teaching Activities, Learning Links and more.
Whether eating Wild Animal Crunch, reading books about animals, or watching Animal Planet, these are all fun ways to get your child interested in nature and the world around them. Get wild!

Hi there
I just stumbled accross your blog through stumbleupon and love the clean design and the photos. I already have about 20 blogs in my RSS so don’t normally stop and read them as already have more than i can read but the design here caught my eye! I started off as a blogger myself a year ago and like your blog always wanted to keep it fresh and clean and easy to read. I have started my own site for food bloggers, chefs and foodies in general to meet and share photos called http://www.ifoods.tv and would love to see some of your photos there. I set it up because I was frustrated that not enough people were seeing what I thought was my excellent blog and I afelt that every blogger in the world probably thought the same! It is basically a platform for bloggers to show off their photos and meet other foodies. Keep up the good work on the blog, have added you to make it 21 food blogs no! Cheers!
