Spring is blossoming and what better way to celebrate than with a May Day bouquet? It’s a clever craft perfect for attentive eyes and busy little fingers. Not to mention, it’s a pretty cool way to honor a timeless tradition without having to hoist a maypole in the grass out back. With just a few supplies, the kiddos will have an easy time assembling these paper napkin flower bundles.

Lay It Out

Unfold four napkins and stack them. Cut down the middle of the napkins and stack the two strips. Each flower is made from one divided stack. Keep unfolding, cutting and stacking until there are enough each kiddo to have a bouquet, around 5-7 flowers.

What cool springtime crafts have you got planned for the kiddos? We want to know!
