Preschool lunch box notes7/9/2023 ![]() Much like the LL Bean bag, these (older) Skip Hop lunch bags are lightly insulated and come ready-made for ice pack storage (it has an interior mesh pocket). For now, the older zipper-style bags are still pretty easy to find. While the price is nice, we like the old ones better because they are easier to clean (new bags are NOT machine washable) easier for little kids to open and close and easier for toddlers to see what they have rather than having to dig around inside to fish for various items. **Note: These classic zip-up totes are being slowly replaced by Skip Hop’s newer and more traditional-looking lunch bags, which retail for only $10 from Skip Hop directly (they are way more pricey at Amazon…). They are high-quality and long-lasting, and have the added benefit of being machine washable, which is a HUGE perk since toddlers aren’t really ones for being neat and clean at lunchtime. The older ones with the zip-close lid are still floating around (though there are fewer options for animals), and we highly recommend them if you can find one. These used to be tied for our top pick - and we still love them - but Skip Hop has since come out with a new version that we are less keen on (see note below). ![]() Here are our favorite lunch bags for preschool and daycare! Skip Hop Zoo Kids ~ $15 I loved picking out my lunch box every year when I was a kid, and it’s so fun to be on the other end now as a parent… except for one small problem: my kiddos’ lunch bags have held up so well that they haven’t gotten to indulge in this once-annual tradition. I add new free printables to the VAULT all the time.I’m literally obsessed with back-to-school shopping (my dream shopping spree would be a close call between books and office supplies), and there’s something strangely special about picking out lunch bags for the school year ahead. It feeds cardstock like a champ, prints great, and it’s cartridge-free! That means you can buy bottles of ink (very reasonably, I might add) and fill up whenever you’re low wihtout breaking the bank on expensive cartridges! Don’t miss out on all the fun free printables in the VAULT For printable projects like this, take a look at the Canon SuperTank all-in-one printer. But if not, or if you’re in the market for a new one, I can’t say enough good things about Canon printers.

Most afternoons I ask them what they thought of their note. Admittedly, the play on words is lost on them sometimes, but boy does it make me smile when I’m packing their lunches in the morning and slipping in a TURTLEY awesome note that’s definitely the real DILLO (see where I’m going here?). My 2 oldest kids (a 2nd grader and 4th grader) were my test subjects for these. Some of them were things I drew for custom orders or my kids’ birthday parties, some I drew for a project that just hasn’t been completely finished yet, but they’re all ripe for puns and positivity, so why not dust them off and share them with the world?! Don’t worry, be HOPPY The fact is, I’ve drawn SO many animals and other details over the years that don’t get to be in the spotlight in my Etsy Shop or Amazon Handmade Store. It’s from MeganHStudio, so you know every animal and other detail is all hand drawn-that’s the only way I do things around here.
