Lunch Box Notes for Kids

A little giggle and a lot of love, from September to June. This printable set of lunch box notes covers the whole school year: 60 kid-friendly jokes for ordinary days, 30 encouraging notes for the harder ones, and notes for test days, first days, birthdays, field trips and the last day of school.

Each joke card has the question on top and the answer underneath, so you can fold it to keep the punch line a surprise.
