Spring is in full bloom almost everywhere you go, bringing with it longer days, warming temperatures, and sprouting candy colored nature as far as the eye can see. This prosperous time also ignites a certain spark of energy, lulling us out of our winter slumber and encouraging us to busy ourselves once again.

Of course, these invigorating effects can be observed most profoundly in the youngest members of our community (shout-out to those parents still recovering from daylight savings time) which means having a deluge of activities to help pass the time is of even more importance now than back when there was a foot of snow on the ground.

Crafts and kid friendly recipes offer endless opportunities for little hands and curious minds to be engaged which is why we love this no-bake cereal bar recipe—it covers both! All you need are a few basic ingredients, your favorite pantry nibbles, and a little spring-spiration and you’ll be all set to take a big bite out of these seasonably long days.
