I remember when I was a kid, my Mom had me cut hearts out of red construction paper and made me painstakingly write a note to each of my classmates. I remember Mom folding the paper in half, perfectly matching up the sides and drawing half a heart. She then made me cut along the half heart design she drew and that was the template for all the cards.
Yes. I had to do all that AND write all the notes and sign them.
I applaud my Mom on her passion for doing things right and being precise. Her attention to detail is one of her gifts.
I also know Little One has a very short attention span and often gets discouraged if I make tasks TOO challenging for her. She loves a good challenge, but at the same time, she also doesn’t like to do things that take too long. She’s only five, and writing a dozen cards is a lot for her.
This year, we’re giving her classmates some special treats that come from the heart, along with a Lunchbox Love note each.
Little One was extremely proud of herself for writing all her cards for her classmates! It was her idea on the weekend to get them all done. Lately, she’s been really interested in reading and writing, and she wanted to get all the cards done and out of the way. A little bit of a keener, if you ask me!
How cool are these “Did You Know” facts on the back of each Lunchbox Love note?
If Little One’s friends and classmates love reading and love cool trivia as much as Little One does, they are going to enjoy these Lunchbox Love Valentine’s cards!

The cards are cute but, Christine, the LUNCHES are amazing! What a treat it must be for your little one to open her lunch!
These are so neat. I love the Valentine trivia cards.
These are great Valentine’s Day cards and I love that they are different! Love the look of the lunches you make your little one!
I love how colorful and creative the cards are. I really want to be as fun as you are with your kids’s lunches when my boys go to school.
Kristen, some may argue that I have wayyyyyy too much fun making LO’s lunches! LOL!
Seriously Christine… you set the standard for how to prepare and pack a child’s lunch. This is just another fine example. The bento boxes are fab, and now this? Well done!
Ahh! Thanks, Craig! The lunches are super easy to make. I just love putting a little extra luv in them 🙂 lol
What a lot of hard work! Good for your daughter and great job!
Heidi, she was exhausted after writing all her Valentine’s cards!
I really am in awe over LO’s lunches. She is so lucky to have such an amazing mama! When you introduced me to LBL’s I was amazed by the options. Now Valentines cards! That’s too cool!
Tammy, I loooooove the Valentine’s cards! They’re adorable!
So much fun and such a good idea to get little ones reading
So true! It’s only been this year that LO has really started reading on her own. She’s always loved being read to, but now she can read a bit by herself! So awesome!
