 Kids’ Paint Palette

Of these egg carton uses, this might be one of the handiest. Those little cups are perfect for holding your child’s paints. And it’s easy for them to dip into! The best part about this one is you can just throw it away when you’re done.

 Bird Feeder

There is more than one way to make an egg carton bird feeder for your back yard. Punch a few holes in the egg carton bottom {remove the lid}, or use a single cup from the carton. Attach yarn or string for hanging and a popsicle stick perch. Fill the cups with wild bird seed and hang it in a tree in your backyard. This is hours of birdwatching for the family!

Seedling Starter

Do you garden? If you do, you need to know that a cardboard egg carton is an awesome seed starter! Start your vegetable or herb seeds in the little cups with a good seed starter soil. When it’s time to plant, you can cut the cups apart and plant the whole thing in the ground.
