Easter is just a couple of weeks away, can you believe it? so I wanted to share the way we dyed our eggs last year. This is also the way we plan to dye them this year. After doing some online research I decided to give the Kool Aid Easter eggs a try.

how did eggs become associated with Easter?

As a Christian, I actually found it really interesting when I did a little research into how eggs became associated with Easter. In Jewish tradition a pure white roasted egg is part of the seder plate at Passover. From this, Orthodox Christians in Mesopotamia took the symbol of the Passover egg and dyed it red. This was a symbol of Christ’s blood. This was the beginning of the modern-day Easter egg!

what are Kool Aid Easter eggs?

Kool Aid Easter eggs are exactly what they sound like–using the vibrant colors of the drink mix to dye your Easter eggs! We use a whole pouch of Kool-Aid mix and approximately one cup of water. None of the stinky vinegar or store-bought dye tablets. Just Kool Aid powder mixed with water, and your eggs. As you can see, they turned out super-duper awesome, and it smelled really good in our kitchen that day. Insider tip–the lemonade Kool-Aid flavors don’t transfer color to the eggs well.

our personal tips for this technique

I actually took this revolutionary egg dying technique a step further. Y’all, we dyed raw eggs. I’m not a fan of hard boiled eggs, and only a couple people in our household actually like them. So I decided to make the Kool Aid Easter eggs with raw eggs and I haven’t looked back. Over the years we’ve only had a couple of broken egg incidents. Plus, my kids love picking out the color eggs they want for scrambled eggs in the morning!
