This year for May Day we decided to do 2 baskets... a "candy" one and a "crafty" one! I searched online and found this fun craft for the kids to make... and also learned that the original meaning of May Day was for people to either make a "flower craft basket" or plant real flowers and hang them on friends and neighbors doors and ring the doorbell and run - - signifying the beginning of spring! So... we decided we needed to PLANT! :) We took tin cans (from canned veggies) and Nick drilled holes in the side so we could attach ribbon and then filled them with potting soil and seeds! Afterwards we went through magazines and picked out pictures of things the kids liked and glued them to the cans. After we were done they got to take them home and watch them GROW!! :) For our candy ones... we popped popcorn and added m&m's to it and placed it in a cup for each kid! :) - - the kids all had a great time!! Our flowers are starting to grow too! :) - - HAPPY MAY DAY everyone!
