Have them add their school photo to the center for that finishing touch.

Here's the poem: "Mom I love you for all the times you picked me up when I was down. For all the times you traded your sweet smile for my frown.

For all the times you brushed my hair and tucked me into bed...or needed something for yourself and put me first instead.

For all the times that we have shared, the tears and laughter too. I love you Mom with all my heart. There's no one quite like you!"

"My mom is 'bee-utiful' because..." is the writing prompt.

Students can either choose to make an adorable bumble bee and write why their mom is beautiful on the yellow stripes of the bug, or they can choose the beehive and write on each section of the hive.

For that extra bit of pizzazz, I used wax paper for the bee's wings and then attached some pipe cleaner antennae.
