You never quite forget the smell (and mess) of decorating Easter eggs. When I dyed eggs for the first time in second grade, our entire classroom ended up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting and smelling of pickle juice and vinegar. All of my classmates were covered in dye, my small hands looked just like a Smurf's, and yes, it was the absolute best.
Easter egg decorating kits have improved since then, which has eliminated the casualty of dying your hands in the process — making them easier to use than ever. I tried out these picks, watched their demos, and examined their ratings to bring you the very best choices. I also included unique options like sets that use natural dye, eggs that look like crystals, and extremely simple wrap styles that make for beautiful, classically-decorated eggs.
These Easter egg decorating kits are sure to not only level up your Easter, but will also create a special (and delightfully crafty) holiday memory for your kids.
This Easter egg decorating kit spins the egg as you use one of the included nontoxic pens to make decorations on it. You can do stripes, squiggles, dots ... whatever your heart desires! It is truly special. And I’m not going to lie — watching the egg spin is more than a little mesmerizing.
This Easter egg decorating kit comes with six eggs, six paints, and two brushes, which is great — but you might want to consider ordering two so you can get in on the fun as well.
The paint sets quickly, soaking deeply into the eggs. Once the eggs are done, they're very fun to squeeze and throw around.
For a long time, it seemed like natural egg dyes were unsaturated, boring, and dull. But thankfully, that is no longer the case. These dyes make vibrant, beautiful eggs without any unnatural dyes. They contain ingredients like beets and purple carrots, making them almost good enough to eat.
You already knew you wanted to make your little one's Easter magical, and this unicorn egg decorating set doubles down on that.
It's a massive 60-piece set with faces, wings, color dye tablets, rub-on transfers, and stands. They're wildly fun to put together and also super easy.

A Perfect Canvas for Egg-Painting
Plastic Egg Painting Kit With Paint, Eggs, and Brushes
No, there aren't real eggs in this decorating kit — they're plastic. That means they're easier to paint, more comfortable for little hands to hold, and won't break or smell. It's a win all around.
This kit comes with a paint tray, 20 eggs, 12 paints, and four brushes. You could easily spend a couple of hours on these and be perfectly content.
If your little one isn't quite ready for painting, this huge 50-piece set comes with markers as well. It also comes with 12 paints, two brushes, palettes, and hanging hooks. And the best part is, the marker dries on the eggs incredibly fast.
Not only are these edible markers great for decorating Easter eggs, but you can also use them to paint glazed donuts, cookies, or even sandwiches for a cute lunch box surprise. The set comes with 10 markers in nearly every shade of the rainbow.
This large kit features both religious and secular imagery, and the eggs turn out beautifully. The wraps shrink quickly and tightly, and you can even apply them to wooden or ceramic eggs. (Just avoid plastic!)
They are particularly beautiful on different colors of eggs to give a bud to the artwork.
Your kids will have everything they could possibly want to decorate their eggs with this enormous kit. It contains stickers, paint, wood cutouts, and even little masks — think hours of fun and all the crafts you can imagine. You can make a whole party, or a whole day of fun out of it!
