Show your child how to lay flowers in the basket on both sides.


MAY BASKET SONG
Sung to: “A Tisket, A Tasket”

A tisket, a tasket,
I made a May basket.
I filled it up with flowers to say,
“Have a happy May Day”.

A tisket, a tasket,
I made a May Basket.
I put it on your door today,
Rang the bell, then ran away.
