Rosie and Jewel were mesmerized by the entire process and wanted to decorate egg after egg! If your kids love things that glow-in-the-dark like mine do then you should definitely give this Easter activity a try!
Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Decorating for Kids
Materials
- Hard-boiled Eggs
- Neon nail polish
- Bowls/cups
- Water
- Toothpicks
- Gloves
- A blacklight
Method
- Begin by filling a large bowl or container with water.
- Then, slowly pour neon nail polish into the container in small amounts.
- The nail polish will float on the waters surface.
- You can use one color of glowing nail polish or many. We began with one color and slowly added more as we dyed our eggs.
- Use a toothpick or similar to swirl the nail polish and create fun designs.
- Then, dip your eggs into the nail polish, turning the eggs in the polish until all sides are covered.
- Remove the eggs and allow them to dry for at least 30 minutes.
- Repeat these steps, creating different effects and designs until you run out of Easter eggs.
My girls absolutely LOVED this activity, and our marbleized glow eggs turned out absolutely stunning!

Tips & Resources:
- For the best effect you will want to use a blacklight for this activity.
- You can use a blacklight fixture or these super cool uv-flashlights. We love using both!
- The neon paint that we use in our activities can be found on Amazon here.
- This activity is messy! I recommend covering the work space and wearing gloves.
- To get perfect hard-boiled eggs we always use an egg cooker. You can check out the one we have here.
