Apparently, people have been decorating Easter eggs since the 13th century in Germany, according to History.com. Eggs were supposed not eaten during Lent, which is why they were a special Easter treat, worthy of decoration. The tradition was brought over to America in the 1700s. Although we don’t necessarily recommend that you eat your decorated eggs — you should read the fine print on your egg decorating kits before doing so, Easter eggs certainly are a more colorful tradition.
As any parent knows, this tradition can be extremely messy. You’ll need to lay down a lot of paper towel to catch all of the splash dye and expect to scrub some blue dye off little fingers and elbows, especially if your kids are really little.
We found a few kits that attempt to contain the mess of decorating eggs and some cool kits that are worth the chaos — like unicorn-colored glitter eggs? That’s too cute of a kit to pass up. These kits come with markers, egg stands, special motorized egg decorators, stickers, unique dye combos and cool designs. All you’ll need is the eggs.
Check out our five recommended egg decorating kits below.
