Want the kids to know you're thinking of them during the day? Hoping to give them a little lift at school during their lunch breaks? Pack their lunches full of love with just a little extra effort. You're sure to put a smile on their faces when they sit down at the lunch table at school! Here are three simple ideas on how to make lunchtime brighter:
1. Pack an inspirational note
These simple inspirational notes will surely give your child a smile when they find them tucked between their PB&J and cookies. We gave you 12 — simply cut them up, write a personal note on the back, and add your love note to their lunchbox each morning. Get your free set of inspirational lunchbox notes now!

2. Draw a picture
The incredibly talented Lynell Jinks, who goes by the handle brownbagbrowndad on Instagram and TikTok, takes lunch bag art to a whole new level for his kids.
Check out his amazing bags inspired by the show Wednesday:
If your art — like mine — is more of the stick-figure variety ... that's fine too! It's the thought that counts, right? Even a simple "I love you" with a heart on a brown bag, or a funny joke written on the side of a bag can go a long way to making your kid's day.
3. Make silly sandwiches for the Bento box
Do you have a picky eater? We know packing school lunches can be a PITA — and we don't mean the pocket bread kind! Bento boxes could be the answer because even a picky eater can't resist a cute sandwich! It just takes a minute or two to create a fun lunch that will make a child giggle — a swipe of the knife or a cookie cutter and some cleverly placed additions (that stay in place with the help of toothpicks) will do the trick!
