As many people know, one of the best Mother's Day presents a woman could get is one her child/children make for her.

In an effort to help those creative kiddos make the holiday memorable, Giulia and Paul Bartolotta with BARTOLOTTA, Ristorante di Mare in the Wynn Hotel-Casino have two family-friendly recipes any child could make.

Note: These recipes call for use of the stove and a blender. Parental supervision will be needed.
