A TASTE OF THE FACTS
Octopuses have three hearts.
Honey never spoils if it is kept sealed and dry.
Saturn is light enough to float in water, if you could find a bathtub big enough.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Print the PDF at 100 percent ("Actual size"). Card stock lasts longer.
2. Cut along the dashed lines. Each note is about 3.6 by 2.4 inches (9 by 6 cm).
3. Tuck one under the sandwich, on the fruit or inside the lid.

NOT INCLUDED
The lunch box, napkins and a paper cutter. Printed notes (this is a digital download and nothing ships).

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
After payment, Etsy gives you the files on the Purchases page. You need a PDF reader and a printer. Colors on your screen and on paper can look a little different. Lunch boxes vary, so cut one note and test the fit first.

ABOUT THE FACTS
Each fact is one sentence in plain words. No fact repeats, and no animal, planet or plant appears twice. The facts were checked against public sources such as NASA, NOAA, the Smithsonian and National Geographic. Science keeps changing and measurements are often rounded, so if a child finds something newer, look it up together and write it on a blank note.

HOW IT WAS MADE
Designed by a seller. The layouts and colors were built in code. The cartoon characters were created with an AI image generator and then cut out and arranged by the seller. The fact text was drafted with AI assistance, then chosen, corrected and checked by the seller against public sources. This is a fun-fact set for children, not a textbook, and it makes no promises about school results.

TERMS OF USE
Personal use for your own family, or with one classroom or group you teach. Please do not resell, share, upload or give away the PDF files, and do not sell the printed notes.
