Making these DIY Lunchbox Scratch Off Messages is the perfect way to tell your kid a secret message, a joke, or even words of encouragement in a unique and FUN way! It’s a great way to add a little zest to their Dole Mixations cup in their lunchbox. I’m wishing this was an option when I was a kid! The only thing I got was a PB&J sandwich with my mom’s perfume all over it (she never quite got the memo that she should put her perfume on AFTER she made my lunch, not before).
The process to make these DIY Lunchbox Scratch Off Messages is really easy. In fact, you might want to make several of them so you have them on hand for weeks to comes. All you have to do is:
- Trace the outline of the tops of the Dole Mixations cups to the cardstock paper with the black pen.
- Make your own unique designs on each circle, creating your own secret message, joke, or words of encouragement.
- Color it in with your markers.
- Using your white crayon, color in the secret message.
- Using equal parts dish soap and acrylic paint, mix together and paint over the secret message with your paint brush. Allow to dry. You might need to paint over a couple of times in order to fully cover the message.
- Cut out of the circles with your scissors and glue to the top of each Dole Mixations cups.
- Throw into your kid’s lunchbox. Don’t forget to include a coin to use to scratch off their secret message!
