What are lunchbox notes?

Lunchbox notes are small notes with messages or drawings that parents or guardians slip into a child’s lunchbox before sending them to school.

These heartwarming notes come in different shapes, colors, and sizes and are often designed to put a smile on a child’s face. Lunchbox notes carry messages of love, encouragement, support, motivation, and inspiration.

They show children they are loved and valued and can help brighten their day.

Many parents consider lunchbox notes a simple yet powerful way to keep in touch with their child throughout the school day, to let them know they’re thinking of them even though they’re not physically present.
