I’m going to admit something right now. I am not a creative lunch packer. I am the mom who often is making their kids help pack their lunch boxes & am scrambling at the last minute to get their lunch packed before we head out the door. I have not mastered packing lunches at night. I don’t pack lunches filled with bus-shaped sandwiches & star-shaped cheese and crackers. And there’s definitely no color-coordinated lunches in this house. Again, there is not much creativity in my lunch packing. But, there is one special thing that I do try to include in my kids’ lunch from time to time: a little lunchbox note or joke just to let them know that mom is thinking about them. This could be a fun, cute, printable joke that I found online or just a simple “I Love You” written on a note. Today, I am sharing a little creative lunchbox inspiration with this simple and sweet lunchbox idea: Hidden Lunchbox Notes using Welch’s Fruit Rolls.
Welch’s Fruit Rolls is one of my kids’ favorite treats to pack in their lunchbox this year. This fun & delicious snack is a new hit in our house after discovering it at the grocery store last month. This snack has fruit as the first ingredient and also has 100% daily value of Vitamin C & 25% daily value of Vitamins A & E. I decided to turn this simple and easy snack into a fun little place for a hidden note!
It’s time to get a little creative. All you have to do is unroll the fun! First, unwrap & unroll a Welch’s Fruit Roll. Place a note inside and roll the snack back up for a little lunchbox surprise. There are two different ways that you can surprise your child with a hidden lunch note.
Make Your Own Hidden Lunchbox Notes
1. You could use an edible ink pen and simply write a little note on the Welch’s Fruit Roll. Roll the snack back up & pack it in the lunch box. This is really easy to do, if you have an edible ink pen on hand. But, I realize that most people don’t have these pens at home, so I came up with another secret hidden note idea.
2. If you don’t have edible ink pens, then you can simply cut a small strip of paper to fit on top of the Welch’s Fruit Roll. Write a simple joke or a special note and place on the snack. Roll the snack back up and pack in the lunch box.
Both of these ideas are sure to surprise your child at lunch & neither require a huge amount of effort to make a lunch just a little more special! Make sure to check out the new Welch’s Fruit Rolls for a great lunchtime treat. Other go-to snack ideas from Welch’s include: Welch’s Fruit Snacks and Welch’s Fruit ‘n Yogurt Snacks. Not only are these snacks great for the lunchbox, but we love to keep these in the car and in my purse for an easy snack on the go. All my kids love this snack and I love that there is no mess when eating them!
