Meet the Little O's!

Imagine tiny, crunchy rings that float in milk! That's Cheerios! They are made from oats, which are like tiny grains that grow on farms. These rings are so small, you could fit about 100 of them on a dinner plate. They are a super popular breakfast food, and many kids love to eat them with milk or even just by the handful!

A Surprise Name Change!

Did you know Cheerios weren't always called Cheerios? They were first made in 1941 and were called CheeriOats! But another cereal company thought the name was too similar to their own. So, in 1945, the company that makes Cheerios decided to change the name to Cheerios. It was a big change that made them famous!

Why We Love These Rings!

Cheerios are special because they are made from oats, which are good for you. They are also shaped like little rings, which is fun to eat. Many families eat Cheerios for breakfast because they are quick and easy to prepare. You just pour them in a bowl, add milk, and enjoy! They are a tasty way to start your day.

Made with Oats!

The magic ingredient in Cheerios is oats! Oats are a type of grain that grows in fields. The cereal makers take these oats and mash them up into a powder. Then, they use special machines to shape this oat powder into the famous little rings. It's like a breakfast puzzle being put together to make your yummy cereal!
