Save your eggshells, and use them to make a batch of eggshell sidewalk chalk with your kids. This is a quick and easy project that’s sure to blow their minds. Even my teenagers were impressed.
Don’t sweat it, if your grocery store is out of eggs (or you forgot to pick some up). Here are a bunch of Easter egg decorating projects that you can still do with your kids.
A simple way to save on Easter baskets? Shrink them down to a reasonable size. This paper plate Easter basket has just enough room for a few pieces of candy and a couple toys. Here’s how it’s made.

Is there a parent out there that actually likes Easter grass? Nope, didn’t think so; which is why it’s time to replace that blasted stuff with something better – something that won’t leave us chasing little, plastic ribbons around the house for weeks – something that won’t have to be throw away when the holiday is over.
If you’re over the grass, but you don’t know what to replace it with, try one of these fun Easter grass alternatives.
