How to Dye Eggs with Kool Aid (No Vinegar)
Easy Kool-Aid Egg Dye DIY
I’m always looking for new activities to do with the kids. We have tried dying our Easter eggs with shaving cream before but I thought it would be fun to learn how to dye eggs with Kool-Aid to see how well it works.
My kids told me that dying Easter eggs with Kool-Aid is their new favorite way to do it! I think they just like the fruity smell, but it is cheap, easy and faster than other egg dyes, plus it does not require any vinegar!
All you need to make Kool-Aid egg dye is 2/3 cup water and a Kool-Aid packet! You can usually find Kool-Aid for around $0.10- $0.20 each so it is a frugal way to dye eggs!
Kool-Aid Egg Dye Ingredients
- 1 packet Kool-Aid
- 2/3 cup Water
- Boiled Eggs (see our tutorial for The Secret to Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs)
How to Dye Eggs with Kool-Aid
First, decide on which colors you want your eggs to be. You’ll want to fill up a mug for each color, so get those prepared first!
Next, place the hard-boiled eggs in the dye. It only takes a couple minutes for the eggs to become a vibrant color. Remove them and dry on a cooling rack or in the egg carton.
The finished result is a much better color than normal dye (in my opinion)! Plus this method leaves a nice fruity smell in the kitchen!
That’s How to Dye Eggs with Kool-Aid
You can see how the colors turn out with the different flavors in the photo above. I would suggest not using Plain lemonade because it’s not very dark. However, Pink Lemonade turns out nicely.
Grape Kool-Aid turns out really dark after 30 seconds so I would suggest not leaving it in very long at all! The eggs also have a subtle speckle on them too!
Will the Eggs Taste Fruity?
I would not worry about this making your eggs turn fruity flavored because the dye without sugar is not sweet at all. I tasted them myself and I could not detect any flavor.
I did, however, notice it turning my children’s hands colors from handling them. 🙂 We had a fun time dying Easter eggs with Kool-Aid…hope you do too!~

Do the egss get flavor from the koolaid?? If so yuck!!
No, I didn’t notice any.
I had that Nordicware cooker. It worked for a while and then
Cute and fun!!
Thanks!
I had that Nordicware cooker. It worked for a while and then the eggs started to explode all over my microwave. The egg timer posted on this site recently is really great, though.
Well, that is good to know! Thanks Kim!
I’ve got the egg cooker and it works like a charm. I use it all the time. I’m getting one more for a family member.
Write on them with a crayon before dying and it won’t stick to the crayon.
Thanks Shelly…that is a cool trick!
Does it stain if it gets wet later….come off on the kids hands??
Haven’t tested rewetting it. I’ve never had that problem.
I would think that if you added a little bit more water to the grape or only used a partial pack of the kool-aid, it wouldn’t come out so dark.
Good idea!
Hey Ladies ~ big problem with our eggs. The Kool Aid is eating the shells off our eggs. Holy smokes what is happening? The eggs look like a piece of furniture that is being chemically stripped. Anyone else have this problem?
That’s weird. How long did you leave them in there?
The chemical furniture thing also happened to mine twice when I used brown eggs both times, not so with the white ones though.
Hey ladies – is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? When I come out to the Fab website, it constantly freezes on me and I have to recover the webpage. Several times. Isn’t any specific page, just happens when I follow links from Fab emails to the website. Do you have something new running in the background or is it just me?
