"Children Carving May Flutes" (German: "Kinder beim Schnitzen von Maienpfeifen") is an 1865 oil painting by Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin. The work is notable for its depiction of a serene and idyllic scene, which contrasts with the more somber and mythological themes that Böcklin is best known for. In this painting, Böcklin captures the innocence and simplicity of childhood through the portrayal of children engaged in the traditional springtime activity of carving flutes from the branches of the May tree, a custom associated with the arrival of spring and the celebration of May Day in many European cultures.

The composition of the painting is carefully structured, with the children absorbed in their task, suggesting a sense of harmony with nature. Böcklin's use of soft lighting and a muted color palette contributes to the overall peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The attention to detail in the children's expressions and the texture of the wood they carve reflects Böcklin's skill in rendering both human figures and elements of the natural world.

"Children Carving May Flutes" is considered a significant work within Böcklin's oeuvre as it showcases his versatility as an artist and his ability to evoke a nostalgic and bucolic mood. The painting is also an example of Böcklin's interest in genre scenes and his capacity to infuse them with a sense of timelessness and universality. This work is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Böcklin's artistic range beyond his more famous symbolist works.
