There’s nothing better than opening your lunch box and seeing a cute, loving or funny note from your parents when you’re halfway through your school day! That’s why I put together this set of free printable lunch box notes for kids. They’re the perfect way to bring your kids joy in the middle of the school day.
There’s about 36 weeks in a typical school year, so if you add one of these notes to your kid’s lunch box every Monday, you’ll have one for every week of the year. I’ve also included a bunch of phrases you can use to write your own special lunch box notes for your kid in case you prefer a handwritten note instead – or at the end of this article you’ll find the free printable lunchbox notes that you can download. Let’s get started!
What Should You Write in Your Kid’s Lunchbox Notes?
Pick from something funny, inspiring or loving as you write your notes for your kid’s lunchbox. If your kid is having a tough time at school, try an inspiring note to lift their spirits. Write them a note to remind them of something exciting going on after school that day, or to tell them how much you love them. Or go with a funny note that you know will make them smile. Add a fun sticker or small drawing to make your notes even more exciting!
What Can You Write Lunchbox Notes On?
You can write your lunchbox notes on sticky notes, index cards, a small notebook or even on the back of little pictures you print off for your kids. You can also write your lunchbox notes on napkins, or directly on your kids’ brown paper lunch bag or on the peel of the fruit (like an orange or banana). You can write your own notes and positive messages to make your child’s day – without too much effort.
