Kool Aid Died Eggs

 

 Have you started dying eggs yet? We tried this for our Easter Egg Hunt: 

To Dye Easter Eggs With Kool-Aid




To begin, pour each envelope of drink mix into a small cup, fill each cup 1/2 full with water, and stir to dissolve. You'll submerge one egg in each cup, allowing it to soak until the eggshell is dyed. The color begins to take within a minute or two. The result is brightly dyed eggs in cheery Kool-Aid colors. If the colors aren't bold enough, add more powder to the dye mixture or allow the egg to soak in the dye for a longer period of time. Remove the eggs with tongs once you're satisfied and set them on a towel or carton for drying. Be careful not to touch the wet eggs, as the colors can smudge.

Which Kool-Aid Colors Work Best?

Every packet of drink mix has the ability to dye your eggs, but some of our favorite shades come from the Strawberry, Lemon-Lime, and Berry Blue powders. The darker colors will dye eggs more quickly, but you can double up lighter-colored flavors like Lemonade to increase the intensity. You can also mix the flavors in each cup in order to create an even wider range of hues. The grape flavor tends to result in more of a gray than purple, so many recommend tossing some blue powder in there for a more vibrant color.

Have fun and Enjoy....
