  Choose bright posterboard or a 12-by-18-inch sheet of construction paper as a backdrop for a personalized alphabet poster. Ask the child to write the alphabet vertically down the left side of the paper with a marker. Beside each letter, help her write a word describing her mother, such as "Awesome" and "Beautiful". Be sure to put the child's name and the date on the back when you finish the ABCs of mom.
