What you can do with eggshells

Eggshells can be used for a lot of different things in your home. Here are 3 smart tips!

  1. Avoid bitter coffee: Put a little crushed eggshell together with the coffee in the filter and it will taste less bitter.
  2. Extra lime for your flowers: Leave the eggshells in your watering can and soak 1-2 days before watering your flowers with it. Flowers love lime!

Are you going to paint eggs this Easter? Skip the colouring pens and use what’s in the fridge instead.

  1. Clean things: Some things can be extra difficult to clean, for example a thermos or a narrow vase. Put some crushed eggshells at the bottom. Add water and soap and shake.

Smart ways to use the egg box

  1. USE AS PLANT POT. Pour some soil into the egg box and then use it as a practical plant pot for your plants.
  2. BOWL FOR PAINTS. The egg box is great to use for children's paints when they get creative. And the best thing is that you do not have to wash any bowls afterwards.
  3. TREASURE HUNT IN THE WOODS. Make a template of the things you want the children to go out and collect in the woods. It can be tree cones, stones, leaves, some soil. Glue the template on the lid and then the children can go on a treasure hunt, fetch the things and put them in the box.
  4. SMART STORAGE FOR CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATIONS. Store your Christmas tree decorations in egg boxes, where they are safe until it's time to decorate the tree again.
