Kool-Eggs: Using Kool-Aid to Dye Easter Eggs

Skip the expensive and hard to use egg dying kits this year.  The dye kits usually use vinegar or tablets and you have to wait to dissolve. Use just plain ol’ Kool-Aid! You can usually find Kool-Aid packets on a sale for 5 for $1 (usually less!), they smell sweet instead of chemically. All you need are hard boiled eggs, a spoon, tongs, or another way to get the eggs out of the dye, lots of paper towels, and a cup or bowl for each color. To make the dye: 2/3 cup of water for each packet of Kool-Aid and mix together.

For some aid with colors, use the tutorial from Hey Jen Renee’s blog and her trial and error with the colors. Some will come out more colorful than others and some need to be mixed with other colors to get a color at all. See pic below and have fun!
