Cute lunchbox cards great for school fundraising

School Lunchbox Cards
School Lunchbox Cards

I recently came upon some cute cards to put in your childs lunch box and bring a smile to their face during their school lunch. Many of the cards make them use their brains at lunch, too!! The card categories include Mystical Little People, Riddles, Real Looney Laws, Wacky World, and Eewww, that’s Gross. Created by 2 moms and run as a family business, KidsFunCards promotes a fun lunchtime treat that can become a tradition for you and your kids through these thoughtful lunch box cards.

 

I looked into the company’s Fundraising policies, and am impressed with the large percentage of sales the company will donate to your school’s fundraising endeavors. Their website states that 50% of the cost of the sales will go to your school! They sell products in sets of 5, and in the case of buying 5 sets (25 lunchbox cards in all), the cost would be $25 with $12.50 going to your school.  I might get my girl’s Daisy Troop to think about this as a new school fundraising idea. 

This seems like a great product, and one worth pursuing for personal use if not for fundraising endeavors. I would opt to buy a set of 25 cards, laminate them, and rotate them through my kids and pass along to others once they know all the answers to the cute jokes and riddles.

  • Meg: Quick followup -- I now own six of the egg molds and have tried them all out, they are great! However, the Heart and the Star shapes did not turn out
  • Meg: Kim, Thanks for visiting, and yes--aren't they awesome? You can definintely use them for onigiri (molded rice balls). Not so sure about the meatbal
  • kim: Those are incredibly cute! Do you think you'd be able to use them for other things like mini-onigiri or meatballs? Or would the shape no longer stand

About

I'm Meg, a stay home Mom of 2 interested in promoting healthy, low waste lunches for kids and grownups. I aim to present good recipe ideas for packed lunches and to analyze lunchbox products currently available. I encourage involving your kids in all aspects of food. From gardening, to nutrition, to enjoying recipes and making some up... there is a lot to learn and enjoy. Cooking with kids in the kitchen is both spectacularly messy and fun, and generally well worth the extra cleanup time...
