Two long grass stems twist into a ring, and after that it is flower by flower until a real wreath is ready for Midsummer. Nothing needs buying — it all grows in the meadow.

What you need

  • Long grass stems
  • Meadow flowers such as daisies, clover and dandelions

How to play

  1. Pick a handful of flowers with stems as long as your hand.
  2. Bend two long grass stems into a ring the size of the head and twist the ends together.
  3. Hold a flower against the ring and wind its stem twice around the frame.
  4. Add the next flower so its head covers the stem of the one before.
  5. Work your way round until no grass shows any more.
  6. Tuck the last stems under the first flower to close the circle.
