Looking for easy gift ideas your students can make for their families? These free kids coupon books are the perfect project! children will be delighted to make a special gift for their loved ones! our coupon books will work for multiple holidays; from Christmas to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. download them today. Most kids get excited about giving gifts to their parents or caregivers and really enjoy doing something special for their mom, dad, siblings, or grandparents. the difficulty is finding something that the whole class can do at the same time. pinterest is a gold mine of ideas, but many of them are simply not practical for use in the classroom. It’s one thing to help a child make a beautifully crafted gift and quite another to help an entire class of children. it can also be tricky to think of something that suits each family situation.

Below you will find a set of free printable coupons that can be easily put together. This set includes a page of coupon book covers (in a variety of colors or just black and white) and a blank coupon page that kids can fill in and decorate. Each coupon has space for your children to write a special surprise just for their parents, siblings, and relatives. There is also a tip sheet to help students who run out of ideas.
And to make it even better, we’ve made the design pretty generic, so you can wear them for Christmas, Mother’s and Father’s Day, or even Grandparents’ Day! I think all grandparents would love a hug book!
instructions
- download the file (available below).
- print as many blank book covers and coupons as you need.
- invite children to fill out the coupons.
- Encourage the children to decorate the coupons and covers if they wish.
- Cut the coupons, punch holes and tape them together, or staple them together if you prefer.
- As a class, brainstorm ideas for filling out the coupons
- encourage children to cut out their own coupons. they may not be perfect, but they will save you a lot of time.
- Younger children often need help putting their books together, so it might be a good time to enlist the help of some parent volunteers. you can assemble them with staplers or hole punches.
- put the coupon books in envelopes to give away. encourage early finishers to decorate the envelopes with seasonal pictures and stickers.
- children can also put their coupons in a gift bag with stickers. you can change the stickers to reflect the season.
- shrink film keepsake keyrings
- gift bookmarks (change color themes to reflect the season)
- mother’s day card or gift bag (these are generic enough that they can be made for any parent or caregiver any time of year)
