Everyone continues the traditional way of dying Easter eggs, using food coloring. What if I told you there was a sweeter way to do it.
I am going to teach you how to dye eggs with kool-aid rather than using boring old food coloring. I think you will have a lot more fun with this technique.
In just five steps, you will have some sweet and festive easter eggs that you can paint. The kids will have a blast as well.
You can get a lot of different looks when you are dying your eggs with kool-aid. You can get a light, smooth coating or maybe a speckled look if you are feeling it.
To get the different looks, the only thing that you have to do differently is keep it in the dye a little bit longer. The longer it is in, the more speckled it will look.
How To Dye Easter Eggs With Kool Air

Make sure that the kool-aid mix has completely dissolved before dying your Easter eggs with kool aid. The drink mix must be smooth.
There are so many ways under the sun to dye your boiled eggs, but not all using packets of kool aid.
Maybe you can try a tie-dye look by using rubber bands and dipping spots of the egg in each cup of color.
For sure, the eggs will have to sit on some sort of cooling rack or transfer eggs to paper towels to dry all the way. Drying time may vary based on methods.
Did you ever think you would have an Easter egg with lemonade flavor? Egg dyes can’t be digested, but kool-aid can.
Had I known that this was an option sooner, I would have never used food dye for my easter eggs. Kool-aid just sounds a lot more fun than food coloring if you ask me.

How To Dye Eggs With Kool-Aid
In just five steps, you will have some sweet and festive easter eggs that you can paint. The kids will have a blast as well.
Materials
- Kool-Aid Packets
- Boiled Eggs
- Small Containers (big enough for an egg to be submerged under the liquid.
- Water
- Paper towel-lined tray
- Spoon
Instructions
- 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. (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 colored and not as speckled, leave the egg in for about a minute or less, checking the egg until the 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.
