Many parents and children have benefited from thoughtful little notes written on napkins and packed into lunch boxes. Simple notes such as "You're the tops!" or "I love you!" can bring a smile to any child's face.

As a mother of 4 children herself, Melisa Cowden of Austin, Texas decided to put these very thoughts into pictures and words that would delight parents and children alike. "I believe that if we show and express our love everyday to our children, there wouldn't be such a need for tough love or scared straight." says Melisa.

Melisa has created some fun and hardy napkins that she affectionately calls Little Love Letters™. Colorful, whimsical pictures, coupled with positive phrases, will have your children peeking into their lunchboxes just to see which one they got today! Phrases like "You are a TERRIFIC KID!" and "your KINDNESS is very IMPRESSIVE!" are just a couple samples of these fun napkins.

On the front you'll find colorful pictures with phrases, on the inside a hidden phrase. Little Love Letters™ are 2-ply napkins designed for children of all ages. There are 16 DIFFERENT designs in each package. The napkins can be used for lunchtime, snack time or anytime. They open like a greeting card, and inside is a 'Secret Message' that reminds the child how SPECIAL they are. There is room inside for the napkin to be personalized.

On the Little Love Letters™ website you can click the link that says Cool Parent's Place and find some fun lunch box ideas, rainy day activities, and more. Coming soon is a Kid's Corner where they are sure to have some fun activities.

Little Love Letters™ are being donated to Shriner's Children's Hospital in Chicago, Children's Hospital of Austin, Austin Children's Shelter and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. If you would like to make a personal donation of napkins to a children's facility, please contact the company.

We give Little Love Letters™ 4.5 stars out of 5. The only reason they did not receive a 5 is because many frugal moms will argue that these napkins can be made on their own for less money. However, we feel comfortable in recommending this product to you after our Kindergarten and 1st grade product testers were through with them.
