I took on the challenge of dyeing Easter eggs this year. Usually the boys will do eggs with a grandparent, but not this year (no guilt!) so it was up to me. I remember seeing something on pintrest on how to dye eggs without using vinegar so I headed to google...unfortunately, I spent the first 15 minutes googling jell-o instead of Kool-aid. Total blond moment!! I found a lot new ways to make jell-o shots, but not how to use it for dye...suddenly it dawned on me...Kool-Aid!!
And then we were off to dye eggs...water in the bowls.

We added kool-aid...
Stirred, Sllllooooowwwwlllyyyy. I thought, "Great, Jack is already bored!"
While searching google, I saw you could put rubber bands around the eggs to create cool stripes and patterns! NOT!! YOU CANNOT get a rubber band to stay around an egg!! The boys sure did try though!!
Jack was so proud once he was able to get ONE rubber band to stay!
The green egg has the rubber band removed and it does leave a line...not bad.
Do you like my egg holders? I found some toilet paper rolls and cut them apart. Where did I find them? Rather not share.
The grape kool-aid was a fail!
It makes the egg look brown. If you leave it in the kool aid longer, it doesn't become darker, but the kool-aid becomes bubbly and wipes right off. I found that out!
Jack dyed most of his eggs green, orange and red.
