A New Way to Color Eggs

So yesterday I was pleasantly surprised when I was out and about running errands, and Mark texted me and asked "Do you want to color Easter eggs tonight?" I quickly said "Yes" before he could change his mind! I remembered a long time ago I pinned a link on Pinterest for coloring Easter Eggs with Kool Aid packets. I looked up the pin and went to Walmart. The Kool Aid packets are only 20 cents each, cheaper than the egg dying kits.

I followed the instructions found here and really all it involved was mixing the Kool Aid packet with 2/3 cup of water. Since I wasn't sure if this would work, I also bought an egg dying kit called Neon Eggs. We used both, but the Neon kit really sucked compared to the Kool Aid. The Kool Aid colors were so bright, and once you put the egg in, it was dyed. With the Neon kit we had to let the egg sit in the water for a while before the colors were bright enough. Some of them never ended up working.

I would highly recommend this egg dying method. Not only is it safe for kids (I don't know about you, but I'm not sure what's in those little tablets that you normally use to dye eggs), but it made my whole kitchen smell fruity! You don't have to use vinegar, let it dissolve, it was really quite effortless.

Here is a finished product of our eggs. Check out those bright colors!
