Easy lunchbox note drawings for a tiny surprise

Try these steps

1. Choose a familiar friend

   Try a cat, bear, dinosaur or smiling sandwich. Build it from a circle, two ears and a simple expression so you can draw it in under a minute.

2. Give it a tiny action

   Add a waving paw, a raised thumb or a speech bubble. A single action turns a basic shape into a little character with a story.

3. Finish with an encouraging line

   Write one short sentence such as Have a good day, You can do it or I am thinking of you. Keep the lettering large and easy to read.
