4-24-00May Day Baskets Supplies: cup holders (party type that holds mint and nuts), pipe cleaner, blocks of foam you for flower arrangements, and colored tissue paper. Adult first cuts and fit the foam into cup. Then cut the pipe cleaners to be the handles of basket. Have the tissue paper cut up in small squares. Have the child use the eraser head on a pencil and wrap the little square of tissue paper around it, dip in glue and add to the foam. Don't forget to add the handle and you now have a field of flowers in your May basket.
ideaMake flowers out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners. layer tissue paper so you have at least three layers fold it like you would a fan. Place a pipe cleaner in the middle and twist. Now pull the paper apart and shape like a flower. Use strawberry baskets to make may baskets and fill with the tissue flowers. Or you can use a vase (empty soda bottle) Give as a May day gift to someone you love.
