Hello to the 'unofficial' start to the fall season! It's back to school for all the kids, football season has started, the beginning of fall fun is here and it's about 100 degrees outside here. Yup, sounds about right! Why does it always get soooooo HOT after school starts?
Speaking of back to school, I have to admit something . . . I secretly LOVE shopping for back to school items with my daughter. I love it all . . . new supplies, fun new clothes for the school year, new lunchbox and finding fun items to pack for my daughter's lunches. My daughter started junior high this year and she still insists on me packing her lunch as she says school food is just NOT good and she really enjoys what I pack for her as I am always trying to mix it up and surprise her with something she will enjoy, which she does!
Personally I would love to think the reason she loves me packing her lunch is I have a tradition, that started back when she was little, of always leaving her some sort of little note inside to find. Every.Single.Day. Sometimes it's a little 'love note' saying having a nice day, good luck on your math quiz or I cant wait to go shopping after school. Other times she gets inspirational messages to lift her spirits if I know she has had a rough week, as I know that helps her deal with things, even when I can't be with her. Then at times, I leave little joke cards for her to read, as she loves these because she gets to tell them to her friends that she eats with. Of course they always get a kick out of a good joke. I mean who doesn't right?
Lately I have been trying to think of something a little different to do with some seasonal jokes and today I am going to share a simple idea I came up with to add a little laughter to lunch time at school!
Fall joke wraps.
What am I going to do with these you ask? Well, like I mentioned I am always on the lookout for something new or different to surprise my daughter with in her lunch. Being a busy mom, I try to be on the lookout for a quality item that can be used in her lunches plus after school for a snack because no matter how much you pack in their lunches, they still come home hungry, am I right? ;)
Over the weekend, I picked up these Hershey's pudding cups at WalMart, when I was grabbing some other items I needed for her lunch. I spotted them in the cooler section not on the shelves and don't they look amazing? I can't wait to try them myself, pack them in her lunch because Hershey's pudding is rich, it's creamy and helloooooo . . . it's made with real Hershey's cocoa!!!! Can I get a hmmmmmmm . . . .
So I designed a sheet of various joke wraps that will fit around the Hershey's ready to eat pudding. Did I mention I picked up chocolate and s'mores flavor because you know . . . I eat lunch too and LOVE anything s'mores. ;) OK, back to the wraps . . . as you will see these are super easy to put on the Hershey's pudding cups and I will show you how.
1. click on this link for the FREE Fall Joke Wraps for your pudding cups and print as many as you'd like out.
2. cut them out by following the guidelines.
3. wrap around the pudding cup and grab a piece of tape to secure. I used washi tape here because I wanted it to match plus my daughter likes me to recycle my joke cards I make for her, so this way it's easy to get off. As you will notice as you are assembling these, I left the joke wraps just a tad short on purpose and it's so the tape can adhere to the actual cup better and keep them secure but it's hardly noticeable.
4. pack them in your child's lunch and wait for the laughs to roll in! The joke will appear on the front with the answer on the back.
Super cute right? This is such a fun idea for kids of any age as everyone likes a good laugh!
