Adorable Halloween Lunch Notes

Last week I shared some fun Halloween lunch ideas to make your

kids' school lunches more festive during Halloween.

This weekend I decided to make some cute Halloween lunch notes

that you can pop into their lunches this week if Bento style lunches just aren't your thing.

There are two 8.5x11 page sets of cute Halloween lunch notes.

They are in a PDF format so that you can print easily from you printer.

You can find both sets of Halloween lunch notes by following the link.

Happy Halloween!
And may your lunches be more festive!

Lunch Ideas: 15+ Spooky Halloween Bento Lunches

Halloween lunch ideas that will make you the coolest mom at the lunch table.

Some of the ideas are of the Bento variety and some are just fun foods to make

for your kids at home.

Either way, they'll love their spooky Halloween lunch and you'll be a rock star!

the ear from a bunny cookie cutter. So clever!

If your kids don't like lunch meat, you can always make your turkey out of pasta!
This one is made using a spinach ravioli and Isabella would love the Cutie orange!

No turkeys here, but the acorn shaped sandwiches are awfully cute!
