Life is a song, sing it.
May Day baskets, Maypole dances, crowning May Queens may be customs of the past. Today's generation may have no knowledge of but I do have fond memories of when we made May Day baskets in elementary school, crowned a queen and decorated a Maypole. The baskets were made for our parents and even neighbors. We worked diligently making the baskets out of construction paper rolled in a cone shape with a handle. We would fill the baskets with leftover Easter basket grass, candy , a packet of seeds, glittery paper flowers, tissue paper flowers with pipe cleaners for the stem and a HAPPY MAY DAY note. The baskets would be hung a neighbor's doorknob or our own front door.
Take note how easy it would be to make these flowers. Use a Popsicle stick for stem and a Hershey kiss for flower center. The basket cone shape can be made from scrapbooking paper. There's still time if you hurry to make one of your own.

I, too, have fond memories of May Day and of weaving baskets from strips of colored paper. I love these more modern versions. Beautiful. Your daughter's kindergarten class is pretty lucky to be the recipient of such beauty.
