Easter Lesson Plans and Activities

Milk Carton Creations

"I save empty milk cartons to use for other projects. When Easter comes, I cut the top off the box, cover it with a strip of colored paper that is 2"x 11", attach a handle made from a pipe cleaner, and it becomes an Easter basket. On May Day, it can become a May basket. In the spring, I use them to plant seeds in so the children can take them home when the seeds have started to grow. Milk cartons are cheap to use and great to recycle."
