Video transcript: Hi and welcome to Sign Baby Sign. This week’s word is cereal.
It is easy for the whole family to incorporate this sign because cereal is eaten by infants, children, and adults. Start using this sign with visuals by holding the cereal box while signing, “Want cereal?”. You could also change it up by signing, “Which cereal?” as you show both boxes allowing them to choose. Encourage them to sign cereal back in their answer. Be sure to watch the video blog for more helpful hints in teaching this sign. Get your flash card set to post around the kitchen for more food signs. Now for a little background on cereal.
Kellogg’s Invention-Granola
Did you know that in 1876 Kellogg invented a food he called granola from wheat, oats and corn that had been mixed, baked and ground up? In 1894, he and his brother invented the first precooked flaked cereal; it was called Granose and could only be ordered by mail. Could you imagine only being able to order your cereal by mail? Now there are about 19 major companies that make what we know as cereal today. From Kellogg’s to General Mills from Frosted Flakes to Trix. Cheers to a modern day breakfast and thanks to the Kellogg brothers!
Here is my personal favorite:
