Printable Lunch Notes

by Jennifer

I’ve talked before about my love/hate relationship with packing lunches and making weekday breakfasts. On occasion I put a little note in with lunch, but I’m usually too rushed to do it every day. So I sat down recently and drew up six lunchbox notes so I would have some ready to pop in the lunchbox before it heads out the door. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile and thought it would be a nice after the holidays surprise for my first grader, Ada.

I had so much fun making these – it’s been a while since I just sat and doodled (I think I get the adult coloring craze now). And I’m offering the page of six notes as free printable lunch notes for you – just download, print out, and color in yourself!

Free printable lunch notes that you can color in yourself. The jokes would be great for kids to color and include in party favor bags too!

I used a couple new twelve-packs of Sharpies (both fine and ultra-fine tipped) to go over my initial pencil lines and to color the notes in – and just as a heads up, all regular-priced Sharpie products are 35% off this week at Staples, while supplies last (week of 1/24/16).

I wish you could have seen Ada’s face when I showed up at home a few weeks ago post-Staples shopping trip with those two big packs of Sharpies, and told her she could use them. Sharpies have been a forbidden fruit around here until recently (permanent markers + toddlers = certain disaster) so the novelty of being allowed to draw and color with Sharpies is still very fresh. Twenty-four new Sharpies was a pretty mind-blowing after the holidays treat for her. You really can’t beat their saturated color.

What about you? Have you gotten into adult coloring? I didn’t really have much interest in it until now but this exercise kind of has me wanting to give it a try. Even if I create my own coloring pages, like I did here.

I put the first of the notes in Ada’s lunch last Friday – I think I will spread them out a little so it feels like a surprise when she finds one in there. I asked her about the note when she got home and she said she loved it. And I love knowing that even if she’s having an off day at school, there’s a little something waiting in her lunchbox that will make her smile :)

    These are so so great! You are a talented doodler! And you have nice handwriting so I think this should be a continuous thing… Just sayin!

      I love it :) I had to bring back my “teacher handwriting” a little here. My regular handwriting is a little spiky and I thought might be hard for kids to read ;)

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
