May Day Basket Craft

When I talk about making May Day baskets growing up...I get a lot of confused responses. Apparently making May Day baskets was not something everyone did growing up. My understanding was that on May 1st, you make a basket-- supposed to be filled with flowers-- but candy is more fun for kids-- you leave it at someone's door, ring the bell and run away. Well that is at least what my sister and I did. Maybe we made up this holiday?? Well regardless, I am having some friends over and I thought it would be a fun craft for my girls if we made all of the kids May Day baskets. I had this wonderful idea in my head. Didn't quiet turn out as I had planned, but I think they are pretty cute. The kids will decorate the baskets with stickers if they want. Did you celebrate May Day by making baskets growing up?
