What Are Kindness Coupons?

Think of them as ‘love in action’ – instead of giving a gift, kids create their own special IOUs for kindness. A big squeeze for a sibling? A cup of tea made for Mum? A story read to a younger brother or sister? A ‘no-complaining-at-bedtime’ free pass? These little gestures add up to big smiles!

 

How to Make Your Own Kindness Coupons

Grab some paper, card, or even an old notebook, and let your child decorate their coupons however they like. Stickers, glitter, doodles – whatever makes them excited to use them!

Each coupon should include:
✔️ What the act of kindness is (e.g., "One Free Big Hug!" or "Breakfast in Bed for Dad")
✔️ Who it’s for
✔️ An optional expiry date (or make it valid forever!)

Not in the mood to design their own? No problem! There are tons of free printables online you can use.



 

Why Kids Love It (and Why You’ll Love It Too!)

Kindness Coupons teach kids the power of giving, helping them understand that love isn’t just about receiving – it’s about doing. Plus, they give children a sense of responsibility and pride when they see how happy their small gestures make others.

Challenge: Can your little ones fill up a whole envelope of coupons? If so, get ready for some serious family pampering!
