5 Things to Do on May Day with your Family
It’s May Day!
Traditionally, on the first day of May a festival is held to celebrate spring.
Throwing a May Day festival may not be something you can do today, but you can celebrate with your family in many different ways.
Here are 5 Things to Do on May Day with your family:
1) Plant a Garden
What a wonderful and fun activity to do with your family today! Find an area in your backyard to create a beautiful garden masterpiece. Buy some gorgeous flowers and plants and enjoy your time outside with your family. The beauty is in the time together and then the final product of the garden. This is a perfect May Day activity
2) Have a Cookout
Depending upon the weather (it’s snowing in Colorado!), get that grill going! If it’s a beautiful evening, take some time to enjoy dinner outside with your family. Grill burgers or chicken or veggies! Make lemonade! Make S’mores! Just take the time on May Day to create a delicious meal for your whole family!
3) Create a May Pole
My Nana used to do this for me and my siblings when we were kids and we LOVED it. If you happen to have the items that will allow you to create a May Pole, it’s a really fun thing to do with your kids. Play some music and have everyone dance around! It’s something they’ll never forget, believe me!
4) Make a May Day Basket of Flowers
My mother still does this! Find baskets around your house and fill them with beautiful flowers. Have your children help you create centerpieces for the tables in your home to celebrate May Day. Bring in lots of colors, it will brighten up your house beautifully!
5) Bike Ride or Family Walk
Get your family outside and do something active! Grab the bikes or grab your sneakers and get the family moving on May Day. May Day celebrates spring! It’s a perfect time to get outside and enjoy the day and the weather. I’m personally planning on taking my 4 sons on a neighborhood walk after dinner tonight!
