Coupon Book

Coupon books can be a fun gift idea that kids can take part in. Even better, these coupon books can be customized for the person you are giving them to with a variety of simple changes and fun additions. There are options that can be purchased in stores and offer minimal customization. However, there are also options for do it yourself varieties that can be customized based on the age of the child and the interests of the father. We have put together a few different ideas for ways to put together a special photo book for the dad in your life. Here are some Father’s Day coupon book ideas that are sure to make the dad in your life smile.

Create Your Own Coupon Book

If you are looking for a way to make a coupon book special instead of just a collection of paper with things written on it, it’s time to get a bit crafty. Take a few large white pieces of construction paper (Can be purchased at the dollar store.) Allow your child to paint, draw, or color on the entirety of each page. Give them the freedom to do a handprint, color a picture, or just have fun playing with whatever art medium they are using. Once these have dried, you will want to cut up the sheets into quarters or ninths depending on the size of book you are hoping for.

Add your coupon wording to each piece with things that will fit what you want the coupon book to say. You can write this in pen or let the kids write it if they are old enough to do so. You will want to leave one blank for the cover of the coupon book. Use a hole punch to put a hole in the top left corner of all of these coupons. Bind them together with ribbon or a binder ring. When the coupons are used up, the father in your life will still have special artwork from their little one to enjoy.

Coupon Idea: Quality Time

Spending quality time with your children can mean the world to them but it can also mean the world to a father. Take some to build a quality time coupon book. There are lots of ways to spend quality time with dad, but some ideas for what to include might be, “Let’s shoot hoops together,” “Let’s have a family movie night,” “Let’s go out for ice cream together,” or “Let’s sit down and read a book together.”

The idea of these is to include quality time ideas that would mean the most to the father in your life. Take some time to customize it based on the interest of the father in your life. If you want to add some creativity to it, you could easily let the kids color around the borders of each coupon.

Coupon Idea: A Year of Experiences

Are you planning some fun things together this year? Looking to add some surprises to the year? Work with the kid to create a coupon book with a year of experiences you can have together as a family. Some options might include camping, a family road trip, ice cream at your favorite place, a giant family game night, a campfire with smores, or any other special experiences that might bring a smile to the dad in your house.
