Not every little one loves a scary Halloween, but almost every kid loves a monster, as long as it’s a friendly one! This cute monsters Halloween gift voucher is all giggles and no frights. It has a bright purple polka-dot background, big bouncy lettering, the value in a dripping blob of lime slime, and five colourful monsters peeking up from the bottom of the page. It’s perfect for toy shops, kids’ activity centres, parties, classrooms and family businesses.
Meet the Monsters
Along the bottom edge, five cheerful monsters pop up as if they’re peeking over a wall:
- a tall green monster with stick arms and a shy smile;
- a purple monster wearing a crown and cool sunglasses;
- a round, fuzzy monster with googly eyes, buck teeth and a golden halo;
- a lime-green alien-style monster with eyes on stalks and a toothy grin;
- a blue horned monster with one big eye and a wide-open mouth.
Each one is a separate vector illustration, so you can move them around, make one bigger, recolour a monster from its colour swatches, or remove any that don’t suit your event. Kids often pick a favourite straight away, which makes the voucher a nice conversation starter at a party or in class.
The Rest of the Voucher
This is a 5 x 7 inch portrait voucher with a deep purple background covered in soft polka dots. At the top, “MONSTER” is written in huge lime-green Luckiest Guy letters with a playful drop shadow, and “GIFT VOUCHER” follows in white. Below is a big lime slime blob, dripping at the bottom, with the value ($20 in the sample) in dark purple. Under that, the line “for a monstrously fun treat” leads to a white rounded card containing the To, From and Valid Until lines, the voucher number (HW-2001), the terms and your business name and website. The Office Templates Online mark sits in pale lilac just beneath the card.
Reward Ideas by Age
A friendly monster voucher works brilliantly as a reward, a prize or a small gift. Here’s what might go in the slime blob for different ages:
| Age | Voucher idea | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 | “1 Face Paint”, “1 Balloon Animal” | Parties, fairs, nursery events |
| 5–8 | “$10 Toy Shop”, “1 Cupcake Decorating” | Toy shops, bakeries, classrooms |
| 8–11 | “1 Hour Trampoline Park”, “1 Craft Class” | Activity centres, clubs |
| 11–13 | “$20 Game Store”, “Laser Tag for 2” | Game shops, entertainment centres |
Using It at Home and in the Classroom
- Costume contests: give a voucher for “Best Monster Costume”.
- Reward charts: fill in “1 Extra Story at Bedtime” or “Choose Friday’s Dinner”.
- Classroom treats: teachers can print a set for a Halloween reading challenge or good behaviour week.
- Party favours: slip one into every goody bag, each with a small treat or prize.
- Trick-or-treat surprise: hand out a few “golden vouchers” among the sweets for a small prize.
Non-Food Treats and Inclusive Events
Many children have food allergies or dietary restrictions, and a voucher is a lovely way to include them in the fun. The Teal Pumpkin Project, started by the allergy charity FARE, encourages families to offer non-food treats at Halloween and to place a teal pumpkin outside so trick-or-treaters know. A monster voucher for a small toy, a sticker sheet or an activity fits that idea perfectly. At parties and school events, offering a voucher instead of candy means every child can take part, whatever they can or can’t eat.
How to Make It Yours
- Click the value in the slime blob and type your amount or prize.
- Change “for a monstrously fun treat” if you like, for example “for being a super monster helper”.
- Replace the business name and website, or delete them for a home version.
- Give each voucher a number, or remove the number for casual use.
- Download as a PDF to print, or as an image to share with parents.
The polka dots and the slime blob are each grouped, so they’re easy to recolor. Try a teal background with orange slime for a different look.
Printing Tips for Families and Schools
The bright purple background uses a fair amount of ink, so print on a sturdy, bright white card stock (around 80 to 100 lb cover) that won’t curl. A matte finish is easiest for kids to write on with crayons or markers. The voucher is 5 x 7 inches, and two fit on one US Letter sheet, which makes printing a class set quick and inexpensive. The monsters run off the bottom edge on purpose, so trim to size after printing or ask for full-bleed printing at a print shop.
Parents’ and Teachers’ Questions
Is it scary at all?
Not a bit. The monsters are smiling, goofy and friendly, and there’s no blood, skulls or creepy imagery. Even the most nervous trick-or-treaters tend to love them.
Can children fill it in themselves?
Yes. The To and From lines are large and spaced out, so young children can write their names.
Can I use it for a birthday instead of Halloween?
Absolutely. The design isn’t tied to October; just change the tagline to “for a monster birthday treat”.
Can I make a set with different prizes?
Yes. Save the voucher once, then change the value and tagline and save a copy for each prize, such as a sticker sheet, a small toy or a class reward. Printing a mixed set means every child can find a surprise that suits them, and the bright design keeps them all looking like part of the same family.
Can I add a child’s photo?
Yes. Upload a photo and place it in the space between the title and the slime blob, or replace one of the monsters.
Monsters have never been so cute. Fill in a prize, print a stack and watch the little ones light up when they find a monster voucher in their treat bag. Friendly, colourful and completely fright-free, it’s the kind of Halloween surprise that gets pinned to the fridge and talked about for weeks.
