Recycled maracas are a great way to recycle those left over Easter eggs after they have served their purpose.

Book Tip: Read books about recycling to get into the spirit! We love a book called Michael Recycle by Ellie Bethel. It can open a conversation about cleaning up our city. It’s amazing how we can repurpose things that we would normally throw away. This is a wonderful way to create and innovate while doing your part to save the environment! See what other instruments or toys that you can create using recycled materials!
