I have gathered together a wonderful collection of lunch box ideas for banana and orange messages for kids. Actually some of these posts doesn’t have a message on fruit. They are just a really cute banana creations. I thought you would enjoy them so I through them into the mix.

I tend to use Gourmet Writer Food Decorator Pens, Assorted Colors, Set of 10or food markers when I am creating messages for my son’s lunch. They are a little more expensive than regular markers, but I know they are safe. If you are writing on a banana, its thick skin will protect the fruit inside. Non-food markers should be okay. I have used them on banana skins too. If you think it is not okay, stick to the food markers.
A pin was used to create the appearing designs. I like to make sure pins are super clean before I use them to create.
such simple ideas! hope you share it on #kidsinthekitchen this week
That would be fun!
Get to open your lunch and look for your message 😉
