May Day is tomorrow and with this day comes the tradition of children making baskets of flowers to anonymously give to friends, neighbors, and family. During the social distancing, perhaps kids can send virtual flower photos to those they care about. Or you could work with your children tomorrow to draw a picture or two of flower baskets. Take a picture and send to family members and wish them a “Happy May Day!”
Why is the giving of May Day Baskets so great for kids?
It gives children the opportunity to create and design a flower basket. It is an artistic outlet for them.
It gives them a sense of accomplishment.
It gives them the chance to be sharing and caring.
Baskets left anonymously teach children to not expect rewards always for doing good deeds.
It is one of the few times a year that children are actively encouraged to give to adults rather than receive.
Sunflowers are my favorite so I’m sending you a flower pic to wish you and yours a Happy May Day as well!
