Equipment:
Small, bowls, cups, or glasses that are the right size to cover an egg when filled with one cup of water
Materials:
Packets of Kool Aid
1cupWater per packet of Kool Aid
Hard Boiled Eggs
Instructions:
Fill one of your small cups with one cup of room temperature water.
Empty a packet of Kool Aid into the one cup of water and stir to dissolve.
(Repeat the two steps above for each color of Kool Aid you wish to use.)
Place a hard boiled egg in the Kool Aid water and let it soak for about 3 to 5 minutes. It can help to move the egg around a bit with a spoon every so often while it's soaking to help get even coloring.
After the 3 to 5 minutes of soaking time, you should see that your eggs have absorbed the Kool Aid dye and are now pretty colors. Remove the eggs from the soaking water and set them out to finish drying.
Notes:
Note: To hard boil eggs for coloring, put the eggs in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then remove from the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 15 minutes.I used the following flavors that resulted in these colors:Cherry = red, Peach Mango = yellow, Blue Raspberry Lemonade = robin's egg blue, Orange = golden/orange, Lemon Lime = minty green, Grape = grayish purple
