During the summer when your family is in a rush to get up and go, try using a cereal dispenser to make mornings go a little quicker. Simply plop this dispenser down within easy reach of your kids, along with a few bowls and spoons in a little basket, and you have your own easy serve hotel deal going on.
Pros:
- If only the kids are in get-up-and-go mode, mama or dad can sleep in a little.
- Perfect for bulk cereal - you can save a load of packaging. Reuse bags at the store to grab bulk cereal, and then simply refill these containers.
- Good for other uses. Little kids (read my little kid) tend to leave boxes open in cupboards. Like Cedar will get out granola to snack on and then later I see the container sitting open - hello mice and bugs! This stops this issue, but allows kids some snack independence.
- This tool’s usefulness carries over to the school year.
- Other uses - If you end up not using it like you though you would, try storing Legos or kids beads in it. Or other food items - coffee (I do drink this much coffee), tea bags, sugar if you’re a baker, dry bulk pasta, oats, and so on.
Cons:
Most are pricey. If you always buy bulk cereal this is a good deal though.
Easy Morning Black Divided Container Dispenser by Rosseto: $74.99
Double Indispensable Cereal Dispenser: In stainless, cherry red, white or, black $47.99

I’d use these for snacks probably. My son (oddly) doesn’t like cold cereal.

悠闲的夏季早餐[规整它们！]
在夏季，当你们一家人匆匆忙忙起床的时候，试试使用一个谷物分配器来让早晨过的更快些。只需把分配器放在低一点的孩子够的到的地方，再在篮子里摆些碗和调羹，这样你就拥有你自己的简便的酒店服务。
有利之处：
-
如果孩子只是处于起床并要出门的状态，那妈妈或者爸爸可以多睡一会。
-
对于散装谷物来说是最理想的---你可以省去包装。只需借用商店的包装袋抓起谷物，然后简单的装入这些容器中。
-
还有其他一些好处。小孩子（比如我的孩子）总是把碗橱里的东西打开后就不盖上盖子。例如Cedar 会取出麦片来吃点小吃，之后我就会发现容器的盖子没有盖上---这会引来老鼠和虫子！这些分配器就解决了这个问题，但同时孩子能够自己弄零食吃。
-
这种工具直到孩子上学的年龄依然有用。
-
其他作用---如果你不再使用它了，尽管你知道你不会这么做，你可以用它来收纳乐高玩具或者孩子的玻璃球。也可以存储其它食物---咖啡（我真的用这机器喝了很多咖啡），茶包，如果你是个面包师，你还可以用它来放糖，或者干的散装通心粉，燕麦片等等。
弊端：
最大的弊端可能就是价格。如果你经常买散装谷物，这依然是不错的选择。
Rosseto牌轻松早晨黑色分离式分配容器：$74.99
双桶式无可替代谷物分配器：不锈钢材质，樱桃红，白色或黑色：$47.99
壁装式零食分配器3桶：$49.99
我可能会用它们来装零食。我的儿子（很古怪地）不喜欢冷的谷物。
