Supplies needed for Kool Aid Dyed Eggs

  • Boiled eggs – If you have an Instant Pot, you can easily make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs! If not, use this recipe to make easy hard boiled eggs.
  • Boiling water – You can either boil some water on the stovetop or in an electric kettle.
  • Vinegar – White vinegar helps the dye actually color the eggs.
  • Kool Aid packets – Choose whatever flavors/colors you’d like! Some of favorites are blue raspberry lemonade, piña-pineapple, and lemon-lime.
  • Bowls – Be sure you use bowls or cups that are deep enough to completely submerge the eggs. I recommend using plastic bowls or plastic cups so that you can throw them away once you’re finished with them!
  • Forks or Spoons – Use forks or spoons to carefully place the eggs into the dye and to assist in removing them from the dye.
  • Paper towels – Be sure you have plenty of paper towels before beginning the process of dyeing eggs with Kool Aid. You’ll want to protect your work space from stains and spills.

How to Dye Eggs with Kool Aid

In one of the plastic bowls or cups you’ve gathered, combine ½ cup of boiling water and your chosen packet of Kool Aid with 1 teaspoon of vinegar.

Stir the mixture with a spoon or fork until the Kool Aid is completely dissolved. Make as many cups of color as you would like!

Gently place the eggs into a cup of Kool Aid dye, and let them sit for 1-2 minutes. Remove the eggs and lay them gently on a paper towel to dry. Be sure you don’t touch the eggs too much!

Allow each egg to dry for 5 minutes, or until no longer wet. Place them back in the egg carton and store in the fridge if you plan to eat them!
