DIY Mother's Day Gift: Mom Coupon Book
Craft a gift that will last all year with coupons Mom can redeem for anything from breakfast in bed to a trip to her favorite bookstore.
Give Mom a gift that lasts beyond Mother's Day with these coupons she can redeem for anything from a car wash to a relaxing, uninterrupted bath.
One sheet of card stock can make as many coupons as you'd like. We divided each sheet into four sections to give kids plenty of room to write and draw on each one, but you can cut the coupons smaller if you'd like.
What you'll need:

Instructions:
1. Using the ruler and pencil, divide the card stock into four sections by lightly marking down the middle of the page and then across the center of the page. This divides the card stock sheet into four coupons. Repeat this for the other card stock sheets, creating as many coupons as you'd like. You also have the option to cut these into smaller coupons, if you'd like.
2. Cut the card stock along the lines you marked in step 1. (Older kids may be able to complete this step on their own.)

3. Using the colored pencils, help kids write what each coupon can be used for. If your kiddo hasn't learned to write yet, give them a hand by helping them come up with ideas and writing them on each coupon. The coupon can be used for anything from a picnic prepared by your kid to a trip to Mom's favorite bookstore. Customize them to fit Mom's favorite things!
4. Have kids use the colored pencils to draw on each coupon. Kids can add random doodles, or they can add drawings that relate to the coupon.
5. Present Mom with the stack of coupons!
