In this blog post, we'll show you how using kraft paper bags can turn lunchtime into a fun and imaginative adventure for your little ones.
Make lunchtime fun and enjoyable by using a simple paper bag. They are the perfect canvas for your child's artistic expression to run wild. A blank slate ready to be transformed into a one-of-a-kind lunch bag or box that your kids will be proud to show off to their friends at lunchtime. Let their creativity soar as they personalize these bags in a way that reflects their unique personality and wild imagination.
Supplies You'll Need
Drawing Supplies
Markers, Gel Pens, Le Pens, crayons, paint.
The options are endless. Use what you have at home or purchase a few new and fun colors from JAM Paper to add to your craft supply.
Scissors and Glue
These will come in handy if your child wants to add extra elements like cut-out pictures or decorations.
Design Your Bag!
Lay out all your supplies and get to crafting with your child. They can draw their favorite animals, superheroes, hearts, or lightning bolts! Encourage them to draw whatever they imagine or like to see on a folder or bookbag. A little imagination jumpstart is a great way to help your little ones if they can’t think of where to start. They can use stickers or cut-out images from magazines or their own drawings to glue on the bags. Let them explore their creativity freely. Simply supply them with paper goods and tools to express themselves however their artistic juices flow.
Don't forget to add their name or a special message to make it truly their own. This personal touch will make their lunch bag or box feel extra special to them.
The Benefits of Creativity!

Kraft paper bags are an eco-friendly alternative to disposable plastic bags, promoting sustainability.

With their personalized paper lunch bags or boxes, your kids will look forward to lunchtime like never before. They'll be excited to unveil their artistic creations and share them with friends at school. Plus, you'll be nurturing their creativity while making an eco-conscious choice.
So, next time you're preparing for school lunches, break out the paper bags and let your child's creativity soar. It's a simple and enjoyable way to make lunchtime cool, imaginative, and fun!
