Make sure that you keep the lunch box notes in a kitchen drawer. Mornings can get hectic. If the notes are in another room, you might forget about them. To ensure that you remember to pack them every day, put them close to where you make your lunches for easy access.

 

2)  Make Sure to Laminate the Notes

If the readymade lunchbox notes you purchased are not durable and waterproof, you will need to laminate them. This is especially important if you plan to reuse the notes and have multiple children. To laminate the notes at home, simply use transparent tape.

 

3)  Use Tape to Attach the Note

Apply tape to the note and secure it to the top of the lunch box to prevent it from moving. Another fantastic method for attaching the note to the lunch box is by using sticker paper on the back of the card.

 

Are Lunch Box Notes Only for Lunch Boxes?

It's not necessary to use lunch box notes only in lunch boxes. You can leave these notes in your kid's folders, backpacks, or even in the bathroom as they are getting ready for school in the morning. No matter when or where you use these notes, your kids will adore them.
