    1. Thanks Myra! The girls loved them!

  1. Corey, this is such an adorable idea. I bet kids really love this!

    I have a friend who likes to leave little notes in her kids’ lunch boxes. Sometimes they are reminders of evening activities, sometimes it is congratulating them on an achievement, and sometimes it is just a cute way to say “I love you”.

    I am going to be passing this idea along to her. I think that it is something that she will definitely try.

    If there were only a way to get them inside carrots then maybe she will not have to try to talk them into eating more of them.

  2. Isn’t the hard part getting a healthy fruit leather? You seem to leave out where you got it or how you made it.

      1. i LOVE THIS! so cute and creative. I’m trying to brighten up my sons lunch and also find fun creative ways to incorporate healthy foods that he’ll actually eat. any ideas? fruit is thee farthest i’ve gotten he just won’t eat veggies

  3. Where do you get fruit leather that is wide enough for the 2 inch circle? Thanks!

    1. A fruit roll-up style fruit leather will be wide enough 🙂
