Last year, Rice Krispies unveiled its first-ever Love Notes with braille stickers with the National Federation of the Blind and this back-to-school season, the brand is continuing its push for greater accessibility and inclusivity with sensory Love Notes in a new collaboration with Autism Speaks. With these specially packaged Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats, kids are equipped with unique ways to give and get love during their time at school.
The sensory Love Notes come in packs of four with heart-shaped stickers that are the same size as the blank heart-shaped spaces on the wrappers that can be written on. The sensory stickers boast soft, smooth and bumpy textures with materials like fleece, faux fur, satin and velour, specifically for kids with autism who may enjoy the tactile experiences that they provide.
