Kool-Aid Easter Eggs
Kool-Aid Easter eggs are a family favorite in our home. These eggs produce some of the most vibrant beautiful eggs that you will find. We pair them with our tie dyed easter eggs, our glitter Easter Eggs, and our Easter Eggs dyed with rice for one of the most festive egg hunts in the neighborhood.
Items Needed:
- Boiled Eggs
- 1 Packet Kool-Aid
- ½ Cup Boiling Water
- 1 Teaspoon Vinegar
- Paper Towels
- Spoons
How to Dye Easter Eggs with Kool-Aid
- For each color or packet of Kool-Aid, add ½ cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and one packet of Kool-Aid to a cup and stir until the Kool-Aid is dissolved.
- Gently add your eggs to the dye of your choice (one egg to a cup is ideal) and let sit for 1-2 minutes or until the desired color is reached.
- Remove the egg with a spoon and gently lay it on a paper towel without touching it as much as possible.
- Allow to sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes or until no longer wet before placing it back in the egg carton. Enjoy!
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Dying Easter eggs with Kool-Aid is possible on farm fresh eggs, brown eggs, and traditional eggs from the store.
- Be sure you use the recommended amount of vinegar. Using too much vinegar will eat the color off the egg and make it look bad.
- Lighter color Kool-Aids will be very light or will need plenty of time to soak. You will want to leave the egg in the dye for 3-4 minutes rather than the typical 1-2.
- I do not recommend using yellow lemonade. The color is pretty lackluster and dull.
- If you touch the eggs too much after removing them from the dye it will make marks in your coloring. For a more flawless egg, allow the egg to dry before handling it. The dye will settle onto the shell and it will be set to perfection.
- The color of the egg will brighten a bit as it dries.
- Lemon lime and green apple come out the same color of green.
- Black cherry, sharkleberry, and cherry come out very similar shades of red, but they ARE different shades.
- Peach mango comes out light orange and pina-pineapple comes out a gorgeous spring yellow.
Storage
Once your Kool-Aid Easter Eggs have dried, you will want to store them in the fridge. These will keep up to 5 days from the day they were hard boiled.
