Kool Eggs!

This year, I thought I'd try a new way of dying Easter eggs. 

Instead of using the typical egg dying kit, I decided to use Kool-Aid!

 (No, I am not this inventive on my own- I found this idea on Pinterest.) 

Here's how:

1. Boil eggs as usual

2. Combine one package of Kool-Aid mix with 3/4 cups of warm water.

3. Stir mixture

4. Dip eggs in mixture, let sit for 3 to 4 minutes.

I also tried a new way of dipping the eggs this year. Since I was doing this activity with 21 Kindergarten students, I decided to use 2 large muffin tins to dip the eggs in. 

This way, everyone could dip their egg at the same time!  The kids told me what color egg they wanted, I mixed the color, poured the mixture into the tin and they placed their egg in! Simple as pie! 

This how they turned out!

I would recommend every color except purple. The grape Kool-Aid turned the eggs more of a black color than purple. My two favorite colors came from the Cherry and Lime Kool-Aid packets. Both colors were very vibraint! 

I will use this method of dying eggs from now on!
