Discover the joy of sending love and encouragement to your child with Christian Lunch Box Notes — a simple, faith-filled way to make lunchtime a special moment.
This year, we sent our two oldest to a homeschool co-op. It has been such a fun experience and for the first time, they needed a packed lunch box. My boys were thrilled by the excitement of bringing their own lunch, but quickly learned that right around lunch time, they started to get a bit homesick. Quite the homeschool issue! That’s where these printable Christian Lunch Box Notes come in: a fun way to send a special note tucked right next to a sandwich that reminded my boys how much their mama loves them!
These heartfelt messages are easy to print and help remind your little ones with a loving message and word of encouragement how important they are to you! And best of all, they’re so easy to use.

Other Lunch Box Notes
Of course, you don’t have to use these free printable lunch box notes! There are many printed options at places like Amazon for convenience! This very reasonably priced set is one that I used this year before it occurred to me to make my own!
I loved the one above because of the adorable designs, scripture verses, and cheerful text. The blank reverse side gives you room to write your own note of love, or scribble a personal note to connect with your child.
Another option that isn’t necessarily made for the lunch box is these gospel cards by the Daily Grace Co. These cards are a fun way to start a conversation about the gospel before they even get home from school! They can be thinking about the question throughout the day, and the conversation can continue around the dinner table or during the car ride home!
For Every Season and Reason
Whether it’s the start of the school year or a mid-semester slump, these little notes offer an exciting surprise when it’s needed most. Add one on a boy’s day where he needs an extra boost, or use them to celebrate small victories and progress.
They also make a wonderful gift for teachers, Sunday school leaders, or other important people who invest in kids.
Final Thoughts: A Little Bit of Love Goes a Long Way
In a world full of distractions and digital overload, a handwritten special note or a vibrant Christian lunch box note stands out. It’s a great gift, an easy way to say, “You’re loved, you’re brave, and God is with you.” Whether it’s during snack time, lunchtime, or tucked into a school book, these notes offer kids a gentle, tangible reminder of Christ’s love — and your own.
We’re coming to the end of our school year and our co-op is also coming to a close, but you better believe I’m packing these little bible verse notes away for next year’s lunch boxes!
Don’t underestimate the impact of a little bit of love wrapped in colorful paper and thoughtful words. It’s a great way to send a message of love that will follow them throughout the day!
