Lunchbox Love Notes
These are very simple notes, and each has a picture to go along with it. They are easy enough for even an early reader to read. There are several varieties on the same page so they are easy to print on one sheet and cut apart.
Instructions and Supplies
It couldn’t be simpler. Just print these cuties on some white card stock and cut them apart. We’ve used this bright white brand for years and I love how the colors pop! on it. Then I like to jazz them up a little by cutting them apart with deckle edge scissors. I especially like the one that makes them look like the perforations around postage stamps. I have a bucket full of them but these are some of my favorites.

Very sweet. C still has another week before he starts Kindergarten so I have time to make these. I'm going to be very teary-eyed; I may need a note in my lunch.
So sweet! B isn't in school yet but I can only imagine how hard it will be. I hope these notes help you both through the transition!
I just finished writing my daughter a note for her lunchbox. I love these notes though. Very sweet!
What a sweet mommy you are. I use to do this all the time for my kids even when I homeschooled them. I forgot about it until you reminded me. I have to get started with Selena. Thank you!
i do this for my girl, too! she saved all of them in the bottom of her lunchbox! i also put in a hershey kiss, too! since she passed her peanut test, she wants a peanut butter cup–not exactly the same sentiment, but at least she's happy!
I wrote my daughter a note today for her first day of Junior Kindergarten! Thanks for these, they are good for when I don't have time to write a note myself!
OMG- THank YOU !!!!
My little guy started kindergarten yesterday-
I'm putting a note in his lunchbox tomorrow š
thanks for these! plan to use them tomorrow.
Adorable! Can't wait to use them!
