While the Easter season brings chocolate bunnies and candy-filled baskets, many families also take part in the timeless tradition of egg decorating. It's a great way to get the whole family involved — and there are plenty of ways to go about it.

Long gone are the days of dye tablets and vinegar — now companies are finding innovative ways to make decorating fun and less of a hassle. One popular way is with the Egg m azing Egg Decorator, which the company's CFO Curtis McGill previously said "puts the creativity in the kids' hands."

The kit became especially popular after it made an appearance on "Shark Tank" back in 2018. But it remains a fun Easter-time activity for all ages.

Because of the self-contained design, it makes decorating mess-free for all age groups. The markers are also quick-drying and non-toxic, so as they play, parents can have a piece of mind, too.

According to Eggmazing’s president and CEO Scott Houdashell, the idea came about thanks to a messy egg decorating experience.

“This actually started with me, Curtis and his family in 2015, celebrating Easter together with all the kiddos ... I was right in the middle of it with them, making the mess with the traditional dyes and smelly vinegar,” Houdashell told Shop TODAY. After coming up with the idea to decorate eggs using a marker, hot glue gun and an electric screwdriver, the idea for Eggmazing was born.

What to consider

For best results, the brand recommends using large or extra-large hard boiled eggs. Some customers even say the decorator works well with artificial and real eggs, too.
The device requires three AA batteries, which are not included, so be sure to plan ahead.
