This year we had a go at having a plastic free Easter. These are the little steps we did and the brands we shopped with to make it possible.
We baked most our Easter treats and by baker I mean “melted chocolate in the microwave!”
With melted chocolate and sprinkles we already had we made:
Easter crispy cakes (dark chocolate, butter, golden syrup and rice crispies)
cute little chocolate animals (using a second hand silicone mould which we rubbed with oil before pouring the melted chocolate)
Easter chocolate slabs (poured 500g of melted chocolate onto a piece of parchment paper and add extra treats like smarties, cadburys eggs and Tony’s chocolate)
I think Tony’s is the best high street ethical chocolate available.
We kept all the packaging as paper, card and cotton string so all recyclable. Brought from these shops:
-Paper bags
-Paper tape from
-Cotton string from Airedale yarns
Used decorations we already had.
You can read how we make our decorated eggs here. Another super easy we to make decorations with kids is using air dried clay. These ones my children made at holiday club.
The branches are from our garden.
And my favourite a suspended wreath using foraged foliage, some eucalyptus and olive branches from my local florist and some rosemary from my garden.
I selected flowers and foliage that will look good even as it’s dries.
Here is my blog explaining how to make a Easter wreath.
Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
