I have used egg paint several times for all kinds of occassions. I just love it, and it's fun for kids to do to. It's a lot less messy than sprinkles (and cheaper, too!), but if you really want the sugar add some plain sugar to the paint, or sprikle some on after you paint. This is great for a group to do too. All you need is some of those cheap little water color brushes for kids from the dollar store. Eggs paints let you be creative, and even if you your not an artists the cookis look so pretty anyway! Try this if you haven't already ;O).

This paint does not expand (even if your cookie does) as it bakes. Does make beautiful jewel tone colors, though.

Real easy and works very well! I divided the egg and put it in separate bowls and made each one a different color - the kids had a great time!
