If you’re looking for a way to green your celebration this year, you’re in the right place. We have an archive packed with tips on how to make your Easter holiday eco-friendly and budget friendly as well!
An electric egg cooker will boil up those Easter beauties in minutes using only a few tablespoons of water. It certainly isn’t worth investing in one just for the holiday, but if you have boiled eggs on a regular basis, this inexpensive gadget quickly pays off.
Do you want to color those perfectly boiled eggs using plant dyes? We have spent far, far too much time at Greenbabyguide.com researching natural egg dyes—and failing miserably. Check here for a better listing of which natural dyes really work and maybe you’ll have more success. 
If you’d like to get creative with your egg coloring efforts, try your hand at making natural silloutte eggs. They’re simple stunners and if you take the time to blow the egg out from the shell, you can even keep them as centerpiece decorations year after year.
What about the basket that will hold all the Easter loot? Try buying one used from a thrift shop and growing your own Easter grass in the bottom as an alternative to that plastic grass that gets strewn all over your home!
May your eggs be delicious, vividly colored, and easy to find. May your day be sunny and may your children keep the chocolate off of their pastel clothing. Also, today (Monday) is the last day to enter our massive green baby giveaway!

Probably not the most “green” choice, but the Dollar Store had the usual commercial egg coloring kits for – you guessed it – $1… my 2 toddlers had fun coloring eggs and then we ate them in egg salad sandwiches the next day – so they weren’t a waste… we also got a package of the evil plastic eggs (also just $1) to use for easter egg hunts, over and over and over and over…
Thanks, thats quite useful stuff to know! I must admit I’m a bit of a failure in the kitchen, but I’m trying my best to learn. Admitting is the first step to recovery right!!? I promised to cook a whole meal for my wife this weekend for the first time – very exciting! I found some really simple recipe at this website, seems to be designed exactly for me, which is fantastic! Anyway, thanks, I’ll be sure to bookmark your site to read more later.
