Maypole Ideas
Playground Maypole
:bell: If you can plan in advance - ask if any of your parents/friends can embed an old broom handle into a bucket of cement! :bell: Once set - paint the handle. :bell: Use a tennis ball - cut out a hole big enough to it to slide onto the top of the handle. Before securing - make slahes around the edge of the hole and thread long lengths of ribbon into them (the 'old' streamers from a doorway blind would be perfect!) :bell: Knot the ends of the ribbon so that they are secure inside the ball. :bell: Put the ball back onto the handle and hammer 2 nails down through the top - this should stop the ball spinning as the children twist the ribbons around! Craft Maypole :bell: Use circular card tubes (tissue paper tubes - or hand made ones) for the pole. :bell: Decorate with paints, crayons, pens. :bell: Stand the pole upright. :bell: Let the children cut lengths of ribbon or thread and secure to the top edge of the pole . :bell: These can now be used as decorative wands in dance - or tools for weaving patterns around the pole with the ribbon/thread! |
