I bought way too many eggs for Easter. We dyed them, ate them, and then I had multiple egg cartons left over. I decided to turn the egg cartons into crafts, and ended up with an adorable caterpillar, flowers, and a boat! The best part, is that we already had all the needed supplies at home!
Below are instructions so you can reuse your egg cartons too.
