DIY Lunch Bags and Free Lunch Notes

Ever think that you can’t be one of those moms who makes cutesy lunches, because who has the time or the energy to do that when you have to get the kids out the door by 7am? This year as your kiddos go back to school, you don’t have to use bento boxes or make themed lunches to make them special. Jess from If Only They Would Nap is back with an easy way to make your kids’ lunches fun without waking up two hours early.

1. Cut a piece of paper about 14 x 7 (you can adjust the size to your preference, of course!) You can cut the short ends with fun scissors (scalloped edge, pinking shears, etc.) if you want.

2. Fold the paper in half and close the sides with washi tape. You can use any kind of tape you have, or even staples – though with staples, you can’t put anything small like pretzels, etc. inside.

3. Slide in a sandwich, some veggies, or snacks.

But more than being a cool mom, you can send a little bit of love to school along with your little one. Give them a boost of encouragement in the middle of the day, and let them know you’re thinking about them.
