But it could stand to be jazzed up a bit. So we here at FamilyFun came up with the perfect solution: bagel portraits of Mom and the kids created by the kids (with a little help from Dad).

Younger children should enlist Dad's help. In this article, we list all the ingredients you will need, plus detailed instructions for making a bagel portrait of mom, a boy and a girl. Modify your portraits--as well as the number of girls and boys you make--to suit your family.
