They actually our May Day basket from last year, but we make a similar basket every year. It is just a piece of 8.5x11" construction paper made in to a cone shape (no cutting involved) and secured with a staple in the back and a piece of tape at the bottom and then a braided yarn handle stapled to the sides. We write "Happy May Day" on the basket decorate it with spring stickers. We filled out with some popcorn (in snack size baggies), lollipops, fruit snacks and a crepe paper flower.
My kids have so much fun running up to the doors and hanging them and knocking and running away. They love to see if they can get away without being caught. Last year we were caught at only 1 of 5 houses.
We don't do this (yet) in the UK, but what a nice idea :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this before! I wish someone would leave a May Day basket at my house :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! Perfect for neighbors whose children live far away.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute and easy for the smaller kiddos. I may have to let my daughter do this - I think she'd really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea. I would love to get one of those from my daughter.
