Overview

A joke in the lunch box gives kids something to laugh about with their friends and a reminder that someone at home is thinking of them. This set has 72 kid-friendly jokes, about three and a half months of school days, with the answer printed upside down so they can fold it over and keep the punchline a surprise.

There are also 12 notes from home, like "You've got this!" and "Can't wait to hear about your day!", and 6 blank notes you can type or write on. Print on cardstock, cut along the dashed lines and tuck one in each day.

They're written for kids about 5 to 11: simple puns and silly questions that younger kids can read with a little help.

Can I print them again?

Yes. Print a fresh set any time for your own family.

Do you have holiday lunch box notes?

Yes. We have Christmas and Valentine lunch box notes with themed jokes.
