Back to School Lunchbox Notes (Free Printable)
Inside: little printable notes to tuck into your kid’s lunchbox. Six different styles, so you can pick the one that fits your kid (or print a bunch and rotate through the week).
Each sheet has multiple notes per page. Cut them apart, stack them somewhere near where you pack lunches, and grab one on your way out the door.
Storybook Designs
Sweet illustrated notes that feel like they came out of a picture book. Good for younger kids who love being read to at bedtime.
Fun and Bright
Bold colors and cheerful shapes that grab attention the second the lunchbox opens. A safe bet if you don’t know which style your kid will like best.
Folk Art
Pretty floral and folk-inspired designs with a slightly vintage feel. These are the ones I’d pick for my own kids.
Soft Watercolor
Gentle painted designs in muted colors. Nice for a kid who leans quieter or a tween who thinks cartoons are babyish.
Kraft Paper Sketch
Simple hand-drawn sketches on a kraft paper background. These print well even if your color ink is running low.
Cartoon Happy
Smiley, playful cartoon characters that are pretty much guaranteed to get a giggle. Great for the early elementary crowd.
A few ways to actually use these
Print a couple of pages at the start of the month, cut them apart, and keep them in a small basket or envelope right where you pack lunches so you don’t have to think about it at 7 am.
If your kid is learning to read, write one or two words on the back in your own handwriting so they can practice. And don’t overlook them for older kids who act too cool for it… a quick note on a hard test day or before a game still gets a smile, even if at first they roll their eyes.
