Easter egg decorating kits for your family's craftiest, most creative holiday yet

They've come a long way from food coloring and vinegar.

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, and my own small hands looked like a Smurf's.

Thankfully, Easter egg decorating kits have improved since then, and we no longer need to dye ourselves in the process. The best Easter egg decorating kits are easier to use than ever. We've tried out these picks, watched their demos, and examined their ratings to bring you the very best choices. We've included options that use natural dye, eggs that look like crystals, and extremely simple wrap styles that make for beautiful, classically decorated eggs.

This Easter, you and your children can really level up your holiday with these Easter egg decorating kits.
