Green Spring Projects

If your childhood was anything like mine, you were probably stuffed silly with Marshmallow Peeps and Chocolate Cream Eggs every Easter.  The memories of neon colored plastic grass, multi colored eggs, and outdoor treasure hunts will always be near and dear to my heart.  While I am a woman who  cherishes memories, I am also a big fan of reinvention.  Besides, Spring and Easter are all about renewal.  In that spirit, I've collected some links to projects that can help you reinvent your Easter Sunday or Spring celebration.

Naturally Dyed Eggs
The folks at Curbly.com have put together a great video tutorial on dying your own eggs with all natural materials.

Natural Wheat Grass Easter Baskets
If shredded plastic doesn't thrill you, why not plant your basket with some live grass?  In this article, Ecobites.com shows you how to create a living Easter Basket that will have you singing "Spring!"

Egg Carton Garden
Kids will love this eco-friendly activity.  Re-use paper egg cartons to create biodegradable nurseries for a variety of seedlings.
