Here is a fun surprise you can make that will help you and the kiddos celebrate the beginning of the school season. Pop this into your child’s lunch box for a fun surprise at lunchtime. When they open the box, this happy, rainbow message will pop out with their snack hidden underneath. It is a pretty simple way to brighten their day and make you smile. You can experiment with your own art, and this can easily be used for birthday parties or any special occasion.

The printables fit this 8 ounce snack container, but feel free to cut it to fit whatever snack containers you have.
