Most kid's cereals are advertised with cartoon characters and are full of sugar. Your Kids health and nutrition is very important especially when it comes to breakfast and cereal. Kids do not have to give up the fun of cereal and eat brands that don't have any excitement, but they also do not have to eat unhealthy. Here are 10 cereals that are still fun and healthy for your children.

# 10 Frosted Mini-Wheats

Frosted Mini-Wheats are one of the healthier cereals for kids. This cereal still has some sugar in it because the wheat squares are frosted.

    I absolutely love Rice Krispies as a snack. I'm lactose intolerant and learned to eat most cereal dry since they found the cause of my bouts of illness at an early age...and I'm really old, so it was before lactaid products. Glad to hear it's number one.

    Frosted Mini Wheats and Raisin Bran Crunch both get a thumbs up from me. I'd add a Special K with Chocolate or Vanilla Almond too. nice list!
