Tuck an edible note into your kids' lunches

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Oct 28th 2008 @ 9:01AM

When I was in elementary school, I was always jealous of those kids who always had notes from their parents in their lunches. I had one friend in particular who's dad packed her lunch each morning. Without fail, he would jot a quick little note on her paper napkin, telling her to enjoy her lunch or that he hoped she was having a good day.

For those parents who still include little notes in their kids' lunches, there's now a slightly more nifty way to go about it. Get a set of these FoodWriter food coloring pens and scrawl a note or a smiley face on your child's turkey sandwich. I do believe that had my classmates had sandwiches doodled with designs, I would have been green with jealousy.

Think I will stick to a napkin and a pen. All my kid cares is that he has good (and tasty) stuff not day-glo writings on his sammie ;-)
