Rice Krispies Treats for Toys Celebrates its Fifth Year with a "Moving" New Challenge

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Magic is in the air during the holidays. Whether it's connecting with loved ones, experiencing pure joy as children open presents, or helping the less fortunate, it's the simple pleasures that create holiday memories to treasure.

As we get wrapped up in the festivities, we may forget that the holidays are not idyllic for many children across Canada, especially for those kids who find no presents under the tree. But Canadian families can help make a difference.

Kellogg's Rice Krispies* and The Salvation Army are teaming up with Canadians to stir up some holiday magic for kids across the country. Celebrating its fifth anniversary, the Rice Krispies Treats for Toys program transforms homemade treats into real toys for kids in need – just like magic! Canadians can help by making a toy-inspired Rice Krispies treat, keeping in mind this year's challenge to build a Rice Krispies toy with moving parts. Share a photo of your creation, and Kellogg Canada will donate $20† to The Salvation Army to buy a real toy for a child in need.

A Teachable Moment That Makes a Difference
"During the holidays, many parents want to foster the tradition of giving back with their children," says Natasha Millar, Senior Director, Ready to Eat Cereal and Beverages, Kellogg Canada Inc. "We're thrilled that Treats for Toys has become an annual holiday activity for many families, and provides a teachable moment when kids can give back in a fun, rewarding – and delicious – way."

The Rice Krispies Treats for Toys program has raised more than $130,000 for The Salvation Army to date. "Every child should experience the holiday joy of unwrapping a new toy, but sadly, we know that's not the case for many kids across Canada," says Major John Murray, Public Relations and Development Secretary for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. "That's why we are thrilled to be partnering again on the Rice Krispies Treats for Toys program. This initiative makes a tangible difference, and it provides a positive experience by combining fun with philanthropy for children."

Snap. Crackle. Pop. Make. Share. Give.
It's super simple to spread holiday joy to children across Canada this holiday. Just follow these three steps:

  1. Make: Start with your favourite Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal variety. Be a traditionalist, or get festive with multi-coloured Rice Krispies Holiday Edition cereal; keep it gluten-free with Rice Krispies Brown Rice Gluten-Free cereal, or add a hint of sweet with Rice Krispies Vanilla Flavour cereal. Then, stir up the Kellogg's Rice Krispies treats original recipe and shape the gooey goodness into a toy-inspired treat. Use the thought-starters from TreatsForToys.ca or get creative and design something new! This year's challenge is to make a toy with a moving part, but if that's too much for your budding designer, a traditional toy-shaped treat will work too!
  2. Share: Take a picture of your treat and upload the photo to TreatsForToys.ca. And if your creation has moving parts, share a Boomerang image for extra fun. Photos can also be shared on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram using #TreatsForToys.
  3. Give: For every photo received on the website or shared on social media by December 22, 2017, Kellogg's Rice Krispies will donate $20† to The Salvation Army to buy a toy for a child.

Choose from traditional designs such as a princess doll, dinosaur, race car or robot, or step it up and accept this year's challenge to make it move.
