Baskets /Bags
Use grocery store recycle bags. These bags come in a variety of patterns including colorful flowers. This will also give you an opportunity to discuss recycling with your children.
Straw
Use your paper shredder and shred virtually any paper for the basket straw.
Eggs
If you don't want to recycle colorful, plastic eggs, here are some tips for Naturally Dyed Eggs:
Blue eggs - boil with blueberries
Purple eggs- boil in red wine
Pink or red eggs - boil with beets or in cranberry juice
Yellow eggs - boil with saffron
Brown eggs - boil in in coffee
Cards
Send virtual cards. I really love My Punchbowl.
Happy Easter!
