This might be seriously reaching for it, but you could get newspapers or magazines and have your students cut out items that have their sound in it. Then they have to glue all the pictures into the shape of a heart for the card. This is one of those gifts that only a mother of a child with a speech impairment could love. J

This book has wonderful pictures and you can even change the words and record your own book to go along with the pictures. This would be great for you language kids. They can re-create the story that goes along with the pictures.

Happy Mother's Day
