Holidays are a great time to for us celebrate with family and friends, as well as a great opportunity to maintain a green filter to make sure that we are reusing and recycling as many items as we can. As with many other holidays, Easter celebrations can have extra items left over that can be used for a variety of other purposes. Here are some ways that you can reuse some items that are left over from Easter:
- Put discarded eggshells into your compost pile or directly into the soil to help plants grow. Eggshells are very high in calcium and can be great for your garden.
- If you hosted an Easter egg hunt with plastic eggs, rinse them out and use them again next year. There’s no need to purchase new eggs year after year.
- Plastic Easter grass can’t be recycled, so save it and reuse it next year. If you haven’t used plastic grass before, you’re on track! Use a decorative towel to line Easter baskets or shred old paper.
- Easter baskets don’t just have to be used once a year! Repurpose the baskets as home décor or use them to store household items.
- If the Easter Bunny brought candy to your Easter baskets, use the leftovers as tasty additions to trail mix, melt down chocolate candy to create a dip for fruit, or freeze any other leftovers.
