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.

Oh yay! Fake food coloring.....just what our kids need more of.
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 ;-)

My mother used mustard to draw pictures or hearts inside of my sandwiches. Whether I looked or not, I knew they were there. It was a sweet gesture, and I'd probably do the same for my kids, but never with food markers.
