Making Mother's Day Coupons

  1. Gather about 3-4 different paper colors. They can be white or colored (pink, yellow, purple, red, etc).
  2. Measure and cut out uniform pieces; rectangular (shown), or shapes your mom likes~hearts, butterflies, etc.
  3. Present the gift to your mom in two ways:

Presenting the Coupons

  1. Decorate the pieces of paper by writing what the coupons are good for and draw pictures. (See below for ideas of what to include in the coupon.)
  2. Make a container to put the coupons in. You can use an envelope, a basket, or anything else you can think of.
  3. Wrap everything up in tissue, a box, or a bag. It is now ready for presenting.

Making a Booklet

  1. Organize the papers in a color pattern to make the coupon booklet more presentable.
  2. Staple everything together about 1/4 inch (0.635cm) from the edge.
  3. Write a title on the first paper.
  4. Use the other papers to write down what the coupons are for. See suggestions in the next section.

Coming up with Ideas for Coupons

  1. Be creative about what the coupons are for. Some ideas include: free dish-washing, free hug, free laundry-doing, free dog walking, free massage, free hair styling, free gardening-for-an-afternoon, etc. You could also offer to cook certain meals for a specified time, or to bake treats. Other options are things they particularly like doing (tickling you, kissing you etc.)
