We’re about to hop, skip, and jump into a fantastically fun idea that’s as colorful and exciting as a rainbow after a summer rain – positive affirmation lunch box notes for your little ones. Imagine this: nestled between apple slices and peanut butter sandwiches, you find tiny paper treasures filled with words of love and encouragement. A perfect way to have lunch at school, particularly for those kids that might find school a little hard somedays.
Why bother with these positive lunch box notes?
We realise that you might not have thought about lunch box notes for kids before, so let’s explore why they are a great idea for our kids:
- They are a wonderful surprise: Tucked away amidst the carrot sticks and chocolate chip cookies, these notes are the mid-day surprises that can help your kids’ day take a lovely positive turn. Picture this: your kid unzips their lunchbox to find a note saying, “You are amazing!” that they weren’t expected. Should be enough to bring a smile to their face, don’t you think?
- Invisible hugs from home: These affirmations are like warm, fuzzy teddy bear hugs that remind your children of your love, even when you’re miles apart. It’s like whispering in their ear, “Hey champ, you’re doing fantastic, and I’m super proud of you.” It feels like a cozy cuddle without being there – and that can boost anyone’s day, and finally
- Confidence-boosting: Positive affirmations can be a little of of like magic that might sprinkle self-belief and courage over your kids. They can help them believe in their unique talents and face challenges with a brave heart. A simple note saying, “You’re as brave as a lion” could inspire them to roar their way through a class presentation. If you are savvy about what you put in when, it could be exactly what your child needs that day to get through.
What do the lunch box notes have on them?
We have five sheets of 8 notes on for you, so there are loads of different ones to choose from so you can tailor them to whatever you want for your kids. We know you like to see everything here, so let’s share with you what phrases we have added to the sheets for you:

What do the notes look like
The first two sheets are the cover, and then we share our first 8 ideas for the notes, alongside the animals which we have chosen to accompany our notes. We all love an animal, right? We have owls, foxes, giraffes, and dogs to help introduce the affirmations to your kids.
Our next two sheets share more wonderful ideas for those positive notes for lunch boxes. We do advise not to put a note in everyday though, as if we do, it becomes too much of the “norm” and it becomes easy for our kids to take them for granted. That reduces their impact, so do use everything we have here wisely.
To download these, just click on the button or the image below, and they are yours, for free!
We do also have positive affirmations postcards for you to check out too, designed by the editor’s daughter.
