Easter is right around the corner and that means that it’s almost time to partake in the classic tradition of dyeing Easter eggs. Typically, this process involved food coloring dye, lots of cups and lots of messes. Unlike markers and other craft items that are washable, food coloring dye has a mind of its own and typically likes to hang around for much longer than appreciated–no matter how much elbow grease you can muster. Luckily, the simple yet genius invention of Easter egg spinners has solved much of the mess associated with the holiday tradition without stifling creativity or complicating the process. Here’s what you need to know about Easter egg spinners and where you can get your own just in time for the Easter Bunny coming to town.
What are Easter egg spinners?
Easter egg spinners do exactly what their name suggests: An egg sprinner is a device that spins Easter eggs.

As basic as this may sound, egg spinners are actually quite smart. It’s no surprise that kids love the tradition of decorating eggs to later hunt on Easter–it’s also no surprise that this is a messy activity. No matter how cute and creative your child’s egg designs may be, it’s hard work to keep a space clean when kids, food coloring dye and other craft items are in the mix. Egg spinners securely hold an egg to not only keep it steady for optimal design but to also contain the egg and its mess. The spinning rotation allows you to decorate the entire egg cohesively, no more smudges or stained hands.
Where can you buy Easter egg spinners?
Since growing in popularity, you can find Easter egg spinners at most major retailers these days. If you are running into empty shelves and issues finding egg spinners in stores, you can always check out online retailers like Amazon, as well as major retailer websites like Target and Walmart, that carry season items.
