There are so many fun ways to dye eggs! Learn How to Dye Eggs with Kool-Aid this Easter. I think you’ll love this method!
Easter is around the corner!
There are a variety of fun ways to dye eggs these days. Here are just a few of our favorite ways as a family to dye Easter eggs:
- How to Dye Eggs with Rice (one of my favorite ways!)
- How to Dye Eggs with Whipped Cream
- How to Dye Eggs with Shaving Cream
Today I’m adding a new way to dye eggs to the list – dyeing eggs with Kool-Aid!
Dyeing eggs using the Kool-Aid method is a fun option for kids and provides an alternative way to dye eggs other than just using the vinegar method. No vinegar is needed in this recipe!
Plus, It smells great in the room when preparing the containers with the Kool-Aid mix!
How to Dye Eggs with Kool-Aid
Supplies:
- Kool-Aid Packets
- Small Containers
- Water
- Paper towel lined tray
- Spoon
Directions:
Pour water into each container and fill about ¾ full.
Add a full packet of Kool-Aid mix to each container of water.
Stir well with the spoon. Try not to mix the darker colors with the lighter colors when stirring other colors (use a paper towel to wipe off the spoon between mixing!)
Place an egg into each cup of Kool-Aid mix. (Note: Some eggs may float towards the surface. Just move them around during the dyeing process with a spoon to get an even color.)
If you want your eggs to be lighter and not as speckled, leave the egg in for about a minute or less, checking the egg until desired color is achieved.
Place the egg on the paper towel lined tray. Move the egg around occasionally to avoid the paper towel leaving a print on the egg on one side.
Important note: For a speckled look, leave the egg in longer. When you take the egg out, you may notice a film around the egg. This is ok! Gently place the egg onto the paper towel and allow the egg to dry. Do not rub the egg, or the film will smear! If this happens, wash the egg off (the film will wash off) and re-dye the egg. Place the egg onto the paper towel carefully. Once dried, the egg will have a nice speckled look that does not smear.
