In this post: Ease your child’s Back to School fears with an encouraging set of free Lunch Box Notes. This set of 6 lunch box card templates will brighten their day!

There are many reasons that Back to School is an exciting time of year, such as new backpacks, picking out school supplies, and returning to a schedule. However, Back to School can also be a time filled with nerves and fears — whether it’s due to a new school, making friends, or academics. Today, I’m bringing you a set of  Lunch Box Notes that are designed to help ease those Back to School nerves, with words of encouragement and joy.  

Who couldn’t use a little bit of mid-day joy, found in their lunch box? I think I’ll take a few myself {wink}.

Free Lunch Box Notes: Instructions

First, download and print the Lunch Box Notes Template on white cardstock. You can print as many copies as you’d like, in order to prep a stash of cards for use throughout the school year.

Next, use a paper trimmer or scissors to cut out each Lunch Box card. You’ll have a set of 6 {or more, if you print multiple copies} printed in full color and ready for you to add sweet notes to the kids!

If you’re like me — and not a morning person — it might be best to fill out the notes beforehand. That way, they are on-hand and ready to go when it’s time to pack lunches. Take a few minutes to celebrate the character traits of your child which make him/her an awesome friend!

Packing a Lunch full of Surprise

The school day can feel long to a child, so greet them with a special lunch box! Of course, you can simply drop the note card into their packed lunch, but you can also get a bit more creative.

I’m partnering with TEDDY Soft Bakes for this post because it’s a snack that is all about surprise. Why? Not only are TEDDY Soft Bakes a fluffy, bear-shaped treat; they are also filled with a tasty filling. My kids love biting into the bear, to find either a creamy chocolate or vanilla filling.

TEDDY Soft Bakes, paired with a Lunch Box Note, makes for a pretty fun lunch surprise. Try using washi tape to attach the cards to a water bottle, or to a sandwich baggie.

For pre-packaged goodies, attach a note card with a hole punch and string. I punched a hole in the corner of a chocolate-filled TEDDY Soft Bakes package, for my son’s lunch.

I picked up TEDDY Soft Bakes at our local Kroger in the cookie aisle {click here to find your local Kroger}. Each box includes 6 individually packaged TEDDY Soft Bakes, making it an easy choice for packed lunches.

Are you ready to pack a lunch box full of surprise, joy, and encouragement? Even if you’re not feeling organized and ready for Back to School, this is a simple activity that will brighten your child’s school day.
