Individually wrapped Rice Krispies Treats include a large white heart on which special messages can be written for kids and now, these panels are being made more inclusive with the introduction of accessible snack stickers.
Rice Krispies Treats' first-ever accessible Love Notes are being launched in the form of Braille stickers and re-recordable audio boxes, so that children who are blind or experience vision impairments may partake in the heartfelt snack ritual.
These special Love Notes were created in partnership with the National Federation of the Blind for the upcoming back-to-school season. Each sticker sheet includes uplifting phrases such as "You've Got This" and "Love You Lots." With the re-recordable audio box option, parents are able to share a 10-second message as a different way of offering their love and support.
