Hug Coupons for Kids to Make

We are kicking off the 100 Acts of Kindness Project with kindness acts for family members! We started the week at our house doing nice things for each other, drawing pictures, doing favors and giving lots of hugs and kisses.

We even made our own hug coupons to give out as an act of kindness family members could turn in whenever they need one!

Homemade Hug Coupons! Great act of kindness or gift idea for kids!

These are so sweet and easy to make!  The coupons would be great for families who may have one sibling that loves to give hugs and another who is hug resistant or to give as a Valentine’s Day gift.

DIY Hug Coupons

My older daughter designed a coupon for us to use and I made color copies of it for the other kids to fill out and decorate.

Easy Act of Kindness--Hug Coupons!

Once my younger two had a template to use they were excited to start making and handing them out! Depending on your kids ages and interests you can ask them each to design their own or use a family one too.

I have a feeling we will be making lots of homemade hug coupons this year!

Week 1 Kindness Challenge

Kristina from Toddler Approved announced the first kindness challenge last Sunday in our 100 Acts of Kindness newsletter, it’s not too late to sign up. Newsletter subscribers get the challenge before anyone else along with lots of easy ideas and resources for doing acts of kindness with your kids.

This week’s kindness toward family challenge is lots of fun! To participate you are challenged to cut up 10 hearts, write a brief kind note on them, and leave them in unexpected places for the family members you love.

Family Acts of Kindness Ideas:

Kristina and I are so excited to have some of our blogger friends join us in sharing acts of kindness ideas for the 100 Acts of Kindness Project!

  • Valerie from Inner Child Fun has 5 Simple Ways to Be Kind to Your Family and you will LOVE all of them!
  • Kristina from Toddler Approved has Kindness Love Note Puzzles!
  • We have also made a LOVE Wall at our house to show everyone in our family just how much we love them.

      I know! I have been trying to soak it all in because I know there will come a day when they don’t say, “It’s hug time!” all day long!!! Thank you!
