FREE Lunch Notes

Pin to Pinterest

Going from having the kids daily over summer to a 7+ hour school day, is a bit exhilarating but also a bit saddening. I admit there is a point in the day where I think about what are they doing, how are they feeling, did they finish their lunch, etc. During the school year, one of the best ways I connect with my kids is school notes – they love them too! Sometimes I find my older daughter packing my younger child’s school lunch and tossing in a note so that she feels special. It truly is a pick-up.

I have a drawer full of school notes. We offered these Back to School Free Printable Lunch Notes and I have picked up others too. You can print it out on paper and toss after use or laminate them and use them over and over. The paper ones are easy to write a note on the back, the laminated ones hold well in the lunch boxes for re-use. I attach a post-it note to them so I can add my own special message.

Directions:

1.) Download your FREE Lunch Notes (see below).

2.) Print on an 8 1/2 by 11 paper (card stock is my preference)

3.) Optional: Laminate using a home laminator. (This is is the Scotch Laminator that I have.)
