In fact, they can be even more affordable than unsustainable options, including plastic baskets. Here are some tips on how to protect the environment and your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:44px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reuse your old baskets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already purchased Easter baskets and they\u2019re still in good condition, just keep using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look in thrift stores\/dollar stores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that new to you doesn\u2019t have to mean brand new. Thrift stores can be great places to find items you can repurpose as Easter baskets. Alternatively, try online in places like eBay, Gumtree, Craigslist, and Facebook marketplace. If none of these work for you, then try dollar stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all these places, the secret to budget-friendly success is to look for items that can be used as Easter baskets. These are likely to be priced much lower than items that are sold as Easter baskets. Basically, avoid the seasonal mark-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repurpose household items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look around your home (and garden if you have one). You probably have lots of items you could repurpose as Easter baskets.  You can re-purpose old household in some of the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Decorate an old basket, straw bag, jute tote, trug, or plant pot, or<\/li><li>Use a toy as a basket, for example, a truck, or<\/li><li>Repurpose a pajama case as a plushie basket. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make your own<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of these work, then you probably have everything you need to make your own. If you don\u2019t, then you should be able to get the materials fairly easily. At a basic level, all you need is strong cardboard. Cut out a base and sides and then decorate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Round shapes can be complicated. Ovals, however, are very easy. Just cut a rectangular base and two long sides. That will give the necessary strength. Then use paper, regular card, or cardstock for the rounded edges. If you\u2019re adding a handle, make sure to attach it to the long sides. Ideally, put it all the way round to the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of Options for Eco Friendly or Sustainable Easter Baskets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The options for a Sustainable or eco-friendly Easter Basket are summarized below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Re-use Your old baskets.<\/li><li>Look in thrift stores or dollar stores for baskets.<\/li><li>Repurporse household items such as a straw bag or tote.<\/li><li>Make your own. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:87px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives to Plastic Grass <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Easter-Eggs-With-Straw.png\" alt=\"Alternative to plastic grass.\" class=\"wp-image-12196\" width=\"314\" height=\"198\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Green paper and green wool are both simple and affordable alternatives to plastic grass. If necessary, fill the bottom of your container with soft material (in any color). Then just put the \u201cgrass\u201d around the edges. Basically, use it where it will be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, just forget the idea of grass and go for hay or, more practically, straw. This is widely sold as animal bedding. Getting a whole pack of it will probably be much more than you need. That said, it is very affordable and there are plenty of places that will likely be more than happy to take the leftovers off your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eco-Friendly Options for Fake Eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs.png\" alt=\"Wooden Eggs\" class=\"wp-image-12198\" width=\"206\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs.png 500w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-32x32.png 32w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-230x230.png 230w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-174x174.png 174w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-66x66.png 66w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wooden-Easter-Eggs-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid cooking and mess in the kitchen, you may want to use fake Easter Eggs.  If so, we are also providing some sustainable options for fake eggs.  . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durable Plastic Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some advise against the use of plastic eggs.  It is because  some of the less expensive plastic Easter  eggs can&#8217;t be re-used.  Therefore, they are not perceived as re-usable and they will fill up the landfill.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, plastic is not a sustainable material.  Since plastic eggs are not a sustainable material and may not be re-usable, you may want to use another material for fake Easter eggs.  Reference below for some options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition,  If plastic eggs can really be re-used then this is a viable alternative.   Otherwise, please consider one of the following other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Use of Paper-Mache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, papier-mache itself may be sustainable. Unfortunately, the only practical way to make papier-mache Easter eggs involves using plastic, typically plastic balloons.  Therefore, this solution is not ideal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Wooden Easter eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Colored-Wooden-Eggs.png\" alt=\"Colored Wooden Easter Eggs\" class=\"wp-image-12203\" width=\"336\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Colored-Wooden-Eggs.png 500w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Colored-Wooden-Eggs-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Colored-Wooden-Eggs-240x168.png 240w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Colored-Wooden-Eggs-400x280.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These are a bit challenging to make at home but widely available in stores. You can get them ready-decorated.  With kids, however, it\u2019s a whole lot more fun to buy the hollow ones with a blank surface. Then your kids can paint them however they like.  For the following year, give them a fresh coat of white paint to start with and paint them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Fabric Easter eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of approaches to doing this. Firstly, you can just get some felt, cut out pairs of egg shapes, and sew them together (wrong sides in). Leave a small gap for the stuffing. Turn them the right way round, stuff them and sew up the gap. If you want to take this a step further, have the kids decorate them before you sew them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, you can make pom pom Easter eggs. Just make pom poms in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gathered.how\/knitting-and-crochet\/crochet\/how-to-make-a-pompom\/\">regular way<\/a> but use an egg shape instead of a regular circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eco-Friendly Options for Real Easter Eggs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not mind the kitchen mess and love the tradition of real Easter Eggs.  Here are some eco&#8211;friendly options for using real eggs in your kid&#8217;s eco-friendly Easter basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Safely Dye real eggs.<\/li><li>Blow-out real eggs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safely Dye Real Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs-.png\" alt=\"Dying Eggs\n\" class=\"wp-image-12201\" width=\"303\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs-.png 500w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs--300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs--240x158.png 240w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs--360x238.png 360w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dye-Eggs--400x263.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use real eggs, then use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/how-to-make-vibrant-naturally-dyed-easter-eggs-holiday-projects-from-the-kitchn-112957\">food-based dyes<\/a> so they can still be eaten. This is great fun. It\u2019s also an opportunity for a science lesson. Eggs can look amazing just dyed in a single color. You can, however, take it a step further and use stencils and stamps to create more intricate designs. Once you\u2019ve had your fun, the eggs can be eaten safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blow Out Real Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blow-Out-Eggs.png\" alt=\"Blow-out Easter Eggs\" class=\"wp-image-12202\" width=\"280\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blow-Out-Eggs.png 500w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blow-Out-Eggs-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blow-Out-Eggs-240x170.png 240w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Blow-Out-Eggs-400x284.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, the adults do the hard bit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/howto\/guide\/how-blow-eggs\">blowing out the egg<\/a>. Then the contents of the eggs go into food and the kids paint the shells. This approach is often better for older kids as the shells do need to be handled quite gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Easter is over, the shells can be composted. Alternatively, they can be varnished and stored for future years. An egg box is usually the best place for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:69px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Eco-Friendly Egg Fillers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Voucher-Inside-Egg-.png\" alt=\"Voucher in Opened Easter Egg\" class=\"wp-image-12204\" width=\"278\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Voucher-Inside-Egg-.png 500w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Voucher-Inside-Egg--300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Voucher-Inside-Egg--240x168.png 240w, https:\/\/thekidonthego.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Voucher-Inside-Egg--400x280.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, avoid plastic as much as you can, especially plastic toys. Candy is often a sustainable option. It isn\u2019t, however, a healthy one.
