Easter Decorations:<\/h2>\n

Decorations are one of the best parts of Easter! Try this string balloon egg cage<\/a> that\u2019s easy and makes a great gift or party favor for Easter.<\/p>\n

You can also make fun papier mache Easter egg decorations<\/a> with balloons, old newspaper, and some paint! Remember to dispose of all balloon waste safely<\/a>. Naturally, you may still want some of the old fashioned real egg decorations\u2026<\/p>\n

Easter Eggs:<\/h2>\n

Dyeing Easter Eggs is a fun and creative tradition. The best part is, there\u2019s no reason to give it up! Dye your eggs, just do it naturally, so that you can feel good about eating them after you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Easter Baskets:<\/h2>\n

By now, you know the drill: avoid environmentally unfriendly plastic baskets, load your wooden baskets with strips of newspaper or even real rolls of grass (as long as you plant them later!) or trimmings from the garden. This is a great video <\/a>with tips on how to put together an Eco Easter Basket without spending a fortune!<\/p>\n

Easter Treats:<\/h2>\n

We love candy. And if you want to fill your Easter basket with sweet Easter treats, always go organic, locally-sourced, and fair trade. But, your Easter basket doesn’t only have to hold candy! You can fill your Easter baskets with great eco-friendly treats like festive Easter clothing, homemade crafts, or small potted plants or seedlings to usher in spring the right way!<\/p>\n\n
