I know my kids have always loved jokes. In fact, even my husband loves to collect dad jokes and tell them at dinner time. Sometimes he texts our older kids in the middle of the day with a silly joke.
Our kids look forward to this and even those ultra-cheesy jokes make them giggle. It’s been one of those small and simple ways that he can connect and strengthen his relationship with them.

Simply print out the Printable Lunchbox Joke Cards from the link and add them to your child’s lunchbox or backpack each day. Print on cardstock for the best quality and use a paper trimmer or scissors to cut out each square.
