    Good idea. I think similar stuff already exists: www.ccn.com/physical-bitcoin-banknotes-launched-in-singapore-to-drive-adoption-2/
     I don't know how far they have gone with it though.
     Physical Bitcoin is better stored long-term to gain from increase in value. For example you could print out Bitcoin on some fancy cards  lock it up (with its inbuilt Timelock) for 5 years and hand it over to your kids to spend when they become adults.


     Your idea would work well if Bitcoin was stable.  Bitcoin isn't meant to be stable fortunately.
    A stable & decentralized version of Bitcoin (like Ethereum DAI) could be developed to serve this purpose. I think such stable Bitcoin could also greatly contribute to Bitcoin economic in form of fees
