Lunchbox Printables that show your kids you love them

September 5, 2020 by Jill Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year. I know a lot of you are virtual schooling or home schooling this year but for many of you, in-person school is starting next week or has already started. If you’re looking for lunchbox printables that show your kids you love them,  I’ve got you covered. And, even if your kids are learning at home, a little love note tucked into their lunch or even hidden under their plate is fun.

This post is part of a back-to-school series I’m writing for parents. I might not know it all – or even know a lot – but I have put together a growing list of resources for parents as they prepare for and settle into the 2020 school year. See the full 2020 Back-to-School Toolkit here.

Lunchbox Printables that show your kids you love them

So. I’m not one of those uber Pinterest moms who makes every minor holiday into a major event. I call it a win when my kids get out the door on time with matching shoes…forget matching socks. Mornings and organization are definitely not my strong suit, although I do try. 

I’m sharing two sets of fun lunchbox printables that you can slip into your kids’ lunches to brighten their day a little bit. You might feel like patting yourself on the back for your level of mom coolness – totally okay if you do that. 

These are easy to print, cut, and place into a kitchen drawer. You can also keep them handy wherever you have your lunch supplies stored – if you are in fact organized to have such a place in your kitchen. Spoiler alert: I am not.

1. Punny food-themed lunchbox printables

These food-themed lunchbox printables are especially fun if you can pair them with the type of food they mention – although that’s totally not necessary. I’m pretty sure I’ve never put miso soup or waffles in my kids’ lunchbox, but I know everyone has different levels of lunch box creativity. 

These also have a little bit of white space on them so you can personalize your note to your kids.

2. Trolls lunchbox printables

Who doesn’t love Poppy and Branch? With Trolls 2 World Tour released earlier this year, kids are loving all things Trolls even more. coming out in April, the hype and interest in all things Troll is going to increase. These Trolls lunchbox printables are definitely a way to increase your parent cool factor. The only possible way to kick up your level of parental coolness is to grab one of these Trolls lunchboxes or some of these Trolls reusable sandwich bags. The lunchbox and sandwich bags are all Poppy (AKA pretty girly) so boys might not want to use them, although I am certainly not suggesting boys can’t or shouldn’t. I wish they made more Branch merchandise, like this stinkin’ adorable hat.

I love how these lunchbox printables are so affirming. Everyone needs that extra bit of encouragement and love sometimes. I love how these remind kids that they’re unique, valued and loved.

I hope you enjoy these two sets of printables! I know this school year is a little bit weird so it’s fun to give our kids that little extra love or maybe even a sense of normalcy. A little thing like putting a printable into a lunchbox or near their plate can really big a big deal. And, I know moms have a lot to remember right now so give yourself some grace if this seems like too much to do every day.

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

This little guy wasn’t a keeper - a fish has to This little guy wasn’t a keeper - a fish has to be at least 20 inches long to keep and this one was a couple of inches short. That said, the excitement of catching my first fish was BIG. 🎣

I was invited down to South Padre Island this weekend for #NationalCookYourCatchDay and I’m not gonna lie: I was a little nervous. Things could go wrong. I could fall out of the boat, break something or get eaten by a shark. (I have a vivid imagination.)
.
None of those things happened.

Our boat caught enough keepers to feed us dinner and I wanna go fishing again.  I liked it a lot more than I expected to.

I’m still going through pictures and videos and I’ll tell you all you want to know about planning your own fishing trip on the Texas Gulf Coast + where to eat and some other things to do. Every day can

"Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of tru "Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of true education." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I saw a lot of posts about Martin Luther King yesterday when I was doing my scrolls through social media...on a day where I wasn't supposed to be ON social media, ahem. We hear and see a lot of Dr. King's words and quotes one day a year. So, instead of apologizing for posting this "a day late" I'll share that I'm challenging myself to remember some of these important words more than one day a year.

Our kids are watching us right now. I mean...they're always watching us but I think what they see in these times is more important than ever. Nuturing our kids' intelligence and character is more important than ever. My kids are 10 now - this picture is about four years old - and they are absorbing EVERYTHING we say, how we say it and even what we don't say. 

This mural is near the suspension bridge in downtown Waco. Waco is famous for all the Magnolia things but there's a lot there for families, too, and the park around the bridge is a great place to explore along the Brazos River.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.
