We've discovered 4 Mother's Day ideas that you may never have tried before.

Lisa Barone with BJ's Wholesale Club demoed ways for dads and kids to interact and create a picnic like mom is not used to.

"And they can help, from start to finish," Barone said, referring to the watermelon rice krispies treat. "No baking, no oven. They will need help with the microwave. Just standard butter and rice krispies treats, marshmallows -- you melt the butter and marshmallows in the microwave, then you actually use food coloring... I guarantee people are going to stop by to look at that."

She also whipped up a fresh Cucumber Yogurt Soup, Steak Muffaleta Sandwich and Citrus Tea Punch.

Here they are!
