This is a really easy preschool craft!  A may day basket is a fun activity, because when you are done making it then you can go look for flowers to pick and put in your basket.  Kids love to display their handy work for decorations!  I know my kids proudly put up their baskets in their room, they hung them from their door knobs.  If you preferred to make flowers you could do that too.   You can easily make this into a recycled craft by using an already drawn on piece of construction paper for the basket.

Supplies:

• Construction paper
• Tape, Glue or stapler
• Scissors
• Crayons or foam pieces (if you would like to decorate the outside of the basket)

Steps:

1. Cut one of the pieces of construction paper into a square.
2. Cut a one inch thick piece of paper from another Color
3. If you want to decorate your basket, color or glue on your items on the square paper
4. Loop square piece of paper around to make a cone
5. Staple or tape together to keep it a cone
6. Staple one inch piece of paper to top of cone to form handle
7. Pick or make flowers to place in your basket.

Happy Spring!!  Enjoy!!
