With Easter right around the corner, we’re sharing eight eco-crafts, gifts, and candies to give your little bunnies a holiday filled with better-for-you treats from brands we love. These products are healthier, good for the environment, and cute as can be!
1. Natural Egg Dye Kit from Natural Earth Paint
Egg dye naturally seeps through the shell into the egg itself. So if your dye contains toxins like Red #40, so will the egg inside that you eat. With the Natural Egg Dye Kit, the colors are derived from fruits, herbs, and veggies so that you can feel good about little hands coloring and little mouths eating the eggs. This vegan, GMO-free, and gluten-free kit features four natural dyes to make 5-6 colors, as well as an instruction sheet with creative ideas to get you started. ($10, naturalearthpaint.com)
