Dying eggs with koolaid
I have a fun and not so messy way for you and your little ones to color Easter eggs this year! Try using Kool-Aid. This is fast, easy and very inexpensive.
The kids can choose any flavor they want. From pink lemonade to berry blue, the eggs will turn out gorgeous. These dyed eggs are so easy to make using drink mix.
Let’s get started making kool aid dyed easter eggs.
Supplies:
- Kool Aid. Choose a few different colors of Kool-Aid mix (2 of each color) – I suggest red, green, blue, and yellow
- water
- hard boiled eggs
This is pretty easy. You will be coloring eggs in no time at all.
How to Dye Eggs with Kool Aid
- Step 1. Empty the same color Kool-Aid packets (2) in a small bowl. Dissolve in about 2 tablespoons of water. Repeat this step for however many colors you are using.
- Step 2. Place the hard boiled eggs on a wire rack. I like to use my baking cooling racks and place inside the kitchen sink. Rinse eggs with tap water and make sure the eggs are cool before your little one starts to color them.
- Step 3. Drop the eggs into the cups with the Kool-aid mixture and allow the egg to sit to soak up the dye.
Step 4. Then carefully remove the eggs from the Kool-aid and let them sit on a wire rack to dry. You can use a Q-tip at this time to draw designs on your eggs before they dry!.
Do you need vinegar to dye eggs with Kool-Aid?
No, you do not. Kool aid egg dying does not require any vinegar.
You only need Kool-Aid and water. It is so easy.
Can you eat dyed Easter Eggs?
Easter eggs dyed with Kool aid are absolutely safe to eat. You don’t have to worry about wasting the eggs as you can eat them later.
The eggs will still taste the same and they are not altered at all by the kool aid. You might find a few spots slightly dyed depending on what color you use but they will not taste like the flavor.
How long will hard boiled eggs last?
They will last up to 7 days if stored in the fridge.
