European Explorers Cereal Box Project

**Reminder: ALL SIDES need to be covered in paper to hide the original box**

Front of box:

 Come up with a unique name for a new cereal that has to do with your explorer

 Picture of your “cereal” that you are creating (example: for Henry Hudson you might want to make something like “Snowy-O’s” because he went through the Northwest Passage in Canada that was covered in ice)

 Describe your cereal (ex. Snowy-O’s are a nutritious part of a balanced breakfast. They contain wheat, iron, and Vitamin D! Vitamin D is important because it comes from the sun, which there isn’t a whole lot of in Canada. NOW WITH FUN MARSHMALLOW SHAPES!! Shapes include: snowflakes, snowballs, icicles, rivers, straits, and bays!)

 Come up with a mascot for your cereal (ex. Froot Loops has Toucan Sam)
