The coupon book is a great project that kids can create that not only makes a great Father’s Day gift, but also teaches children responsibility. The coupon book consists of papers cut in a rectangular shape, similar to a regular coupon, often stapled together that children write a chore or task on. Father’s can cash in one of the coupons at their leisure. Since the child can come up with their own tasks for the coupons, the gift is often sentimental, because every child can tailor their coupons’ to their father’s preferences. Children can decorate the cover of their Father’s Day coupon book in any way they desire and with the use of printers, even print out pictures of themselves with dad.

Children can design and decorate their Father’s Day coupons but they can also use free printable coupons found online for the template and then add their own, personalized information. Here are some examples of Father’s Day coupon templates that are free, easy to download and print, and will have children making their own Father’s Day gifts in no time at all.

Though printable Father’s Day coupons are a perfect gift from children, babies too can give their dads a special and unique Father’s Day coupon. The coupon book below is from the Toys in the Dryer blog and feature coupons from baby perfect for a dad’s first Father’s Day. The coupons include a night off of late evening feedings, a break from diaper duty, and a morning of sleeping in.

The website Itsy Bitsy Fun also features several Father’s Day coupon templates that are available for download in PDF format.

It’s an easy craft and perfect for kids who might not have enough money to buy a special gift, but want to show dad their appreciation, gratitude, and love for all he does.

Some children might prefer to staple the coupons together in a book, while others might prefer to place them in a jar, canister, or even mug. Father’s Day mugs are popular gifts, and those who want to buy a Father’s Day mug, might find that adding several coupons is an extra, special touch to the gift. You can use a paper punch to poke holes in the coupons and string them together with a fanciful ribbon and attach them together or use them as decorative pieces on other gifts.
