A May Day basket is a charming, handmade gift traditionally given on May 1st to celebrate spring. 

Kids can fill the basket with goodies like fresh flowers (dandelions work great!), candy, or small trinkets. For an extra touch, they can line the basket with tissue paper or green construction paper cut into grass-like strips. Once complete, they can leave it on a neighbor’s or friend’s front porch as a surprise gift, keeping the May Day tradition of spreading joy alive!
