Dad's Brown Bag Drawings Make the Rest of Us Look Bad
Categories: Fun & Activities, Playground Bureau, Mealtime
It's pretty cool when you're dad knows the names of all of your favorite cartoon characters. But when you're dad draws them, in detail, onto your lunch bag every. single. day? Well, that's a whole new level of cool.Lucky kids Dana and Dylan probably never ask for a Barbie or Transformers lunchbox. That's because during his own lunch hour every day, their dad puts a new drawing on their brown paper lunch bag for the next day. And he's pretty good. OK, amazingly good. Look at his versions of Cookie Monster and Hello Kitty. Wow!
Check out more of this dad's artwork on his blog Lunch Bag Art. Suddenly, my little note that says, "Mom loves you" that I stick in my kindergartner's lunch box seems a little lame. But though his artwork might make his kids the talk of the lunchroom, I think Dana and Dylan's dad's pictures are probably his way of sending his kids the same message. It's the little things that make kids feel special, and this is one dad that's figured that out.

That is sooo cool! I'm inspired.
Especially since my "Mommy loves you" note was ridiculed by my son's classmates. Maybe they'll like cartoon drawings better! I'm pretty good -- not that good - but good enough!

My kindergartener still likes my handwritten notes on her napkin every day. As her reading improves, the notes get more difficult.
I'll stick to my notes and hearts. I could never draw like this man, that is some incredible talent!

I will go plant a tree to help with all the ones being killed by using a paper bag instead of a re-usable lunch box. As for little notes--I prefer speaking to my girls when I deliver the homecooked hot meals daily to them.

Oh, thank goodness your perfectness has returned. Some of us aren't so lucky that we are able to deliver a hot meal to our child at her school, no matter how involved in her life we may want to be.
Aren't you lucky? And judgemental?
