Dad draws adorable post-it notes for daughter’s lunch box every day for the last 3 years

This is adorable.

School can be tough, even as a kid, many of us would dread going into school in the morning, so any little pick me up is a great help.

Rob Biddulph is an author and illustrator who has been surprising his daughter Poppy with cute post-it pictures everyday for the past three years.

When Poppy left nursery to go to primary school, Rob drew her a post-it note for a little encouragement, and it was the first of many.

“That evening she asked what I was going to draw for the following day. 600 post-its later we’re still going,” Rob told Metro.

He added that it can get pretty difficult to come up with a new idea every single day, so he has themed weeks.

‘‘For example we’ve recently done all the Disney films in chronological order. That kept us going for a few months!’’ He said.

The pictures have attracted a lot of attention from Poppy’s school friends and Rob said that he is even getting requests from other children.

The post-its even had their own exhibition at Waterstones in Tottenham Court Road London.

Here are some of Rob’s adorable creations:
