Kool-Eggs&more!

I was super excited this year to stumble upon a neat alternative to dying easter eggs on pinterest: USING KOOL AID! (thanks to Hey Jen Renee blog!) Admittedly, I had a little whisper of doubt that it might not work, but really, for just pennies I couldn't pass it up and anything to get out of the strong smelling vinegar was worth it ;) Another thing that is 2 dollars or under (caught eggs on sale this week for .99) ... looove it!

Here is the original pin:

And they came out great! Not all colors were pretty (to the "grape" or purple, I added in a few drops of blue food coloring instead since it was a pretty ugly grey brown, so that is what the blue is from, add a few drops of yellow to "lemonade"). And some colors are pretty speckled (red) but I'm okay with that non-perfect, completely homemade look. This was my son's first egg-dying experience and he just had a blast! =)



Here are a few more pins I thought were cute for spring&easter:
Easter Egg Baloons (cute kid craft)
Peep Sunflower Cake (tempted to do this w/ brownies)
Basket-Fillers (great alternatives from candy)
