Sustainable Egg Hunts & Easter Festive Fun!
🐰♻️ Easter is around the corner! This year, embrace zero-waste hacks, eco-friendly traditions, and plant-based delights, with Grandma Sita’s timeless wisdom. Let’s make the holiday joyful, waste-free, and full of flavour.
Zero-Waste Easter Egg Hunt Ideas:
🥚 Wooden or Recycled Eggs – Swap plastic eggs for hand-painted wooden eggs, ceramic eggs, or repurposed paper mache eggs. They’re reusable, durable, and fun to decorate – Pass them down for generations.
🎨 DIY Egg Decorating – Use natural plant-based dyes from onion skins, red cabbage, or turmeric for a non-toxic, waste-free touch.
🍫 Plastic-Free Treats – Fill eggs with homemade chocolates, nuts, dried fruit, or small handwritten notes. Dip banana slices, orange peels, or strawberries in melted dark chocolate. Delicious no-waste alternatives to traditional Easter candies!
🌿Zero-waste surprise – Hide small handmade gifts, upcycled crafts, messages with experience-based presents, seed packets, or small potted herbs for a green surprise!
🧺 Reusable Baskets & Pouches – Use woven baskets, tote bags, or handmade sewn fabric pockets for an extra festive and sustainable touch.
♻️ Upcycled Easter Decorations – Craft bunnies, garlands, or table decor from scrap fabric, old newspapers, or natural elements like flowers and twigs.
📗 An egg hunt is an Eastertide game traditionally held on Easter Sunday, during which decorated eggs or edible Easter eggs are hidden for the little ones or even for the not-so-little ones to find.
🧓🏻💚 Grandma Sita’s hacks:
✅ Zero-Waste Feast – Plan a plant-based, seasonal Easter meal using local produce and repurpose leftovers creatively.
✅Use the Whole Veggie – Make pesto from carrot tops or broth from vegetable scraps.
✅ Repurpose Leftovers – Turn extra roasted veggies into soups, grain bowls, or spreads.
✅ Make homemade Easter Treats – Skip plastic-wrapped chocolates and candies to enjoy plant-based traditional delights like crunchy Pestiños, a classic Spanish Easter pastry, naturally vegan, deep-fried and coated in sugar. Recipe here.👉https://lnkd.in/d5YGZZ4e
