I’ve been waiting and waiting for Jurassic World to arrive in theaters, and now that it’s playing, what better way to get in the Jurassic spirit than to show you how to make dinosaur eggs!
I started making these edible snacks when my kids were itty bitty, and they loved them so much that they made regular appearances on the dinner table and in lunch boxes.
How To Make Dinosaur Eggs
What You’ll Need:
Hard-boiled eggs
Mason jars or medium bowls (one for each color)
3 cups cool water (for each color)
Unsweetened Kool-Aid mix envelopes in a variety of colors (choose bright colors for best results)
Clear plastic wrap
How To Make Dinosaur Eggs:
1. Carefully roll or tap the hard-boiled eggs to crack shells all over, but leave the shells on the eggs.
2. In a mason jar or bowl, stir together water and Kool-Aid. Add the cracked eggs to the colored water.
3. Cover the containers with plastic wrap; refrigerate. Leave for 1 to 2 days. Remove eggs and throw away water. (They look pretty cool at this point too.)
4. Peel shells off eggs. Keep refrigerated. They’re edible and kids will love them, especially with the Kool-Aid flavors!
Hint: Red and purple will give the brightest color, and if you love the look of the brown-colored shells, that’s purple (grape) Kool-Aid.
I”m a Fandango Family ambassador. All opinions are my own.
Visit Fandango Family for even more Jurassic World fun. I saw a really cute tutorial on how to make a dinosaur necklace, and there are some great articles about the movie there.
Oh my goodness, those are just too cute. The grand kids would love to make these so we’ll give them a try.
You’re right. This is definitely fun. I will have to try this. My son loves dinosaurs.
Those look like a lot of fun. Kids would love this activity.
Oh wow, these are so cute, my kids would of loved making these eggs.
Wow, that is such a cool idea Liz! I will try this for my nieces.
How much fun would this be? I think making these eggs appeals to children of all ages! Who wants to make these now? ME!
Great idea! What kid wouldn’t want to eat dinosaur eggs?!?
My son is fascinated by Jurassic World right now! This is great!
Ohh! I bet these were fun to make! Would be a good treat when watching the new movie!
What a cool idea, the boys would get a kick out of doing this. My youngest was just trying to “hatch an egg” yesterday morning in his pocket, so now he can pretend to hatch a dinosaur egg.
Oh wow these are so cute and I am sure my nephew would love them big time. I actually love them myself.
I love the eggs! My big kids are dying to see this movie. Looks like a wash out today, so we might go with Dad!
This is the type of craft my daughter will like doing! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is a really cute idea indeed for the kids to make. I will have to do this with my niece’s kids for sure. They are going through a lot little ones shouldn’t have to so this will get their little minds off of things. Thanks so much for sharing.
They do look like dinosaur eggs. My grandchildren would like them.
Whoa, how cool do those look! I love this idea.
I’ve seen these before and wanted to do them at the time… I completely forgot about it until now! Such a great idea and they look so neat! I’ve got a ton of eggs in the fridge right now and, although we don’t normally use Kool Aid here…I can definitely make the exception for such a fun project 😛
Ooh, how fun are these! Love how simple to make these are. My brother would love these!
These are such a fun craft to do! My kids love all things dinosaurs so I’m always in search of new ideas!
This looks like a super fun project for kids to make and a great way to get them to eat eggs. What a fun way to celebrate the movie.
What a cute idea. This is great and just in time for the new movie. I don’t have kids, but this is fun enough for me to do myself! haha. Cute pics too by the way!
I love this idea! I don’t know if my kids would like to eat koolaid flavored eggs tho lol
I think it would be awesome to make these with the kids esp. right after seeing the movie! Can’t wait to get to the theater to watch it.
This is a super cute idea! What a great idea to celebrate the release of Jurassic World!
Your eggs are so cute. Davey and Isa would love this project. Perfect rainy day project.
How fun!! I think this is something that my son would love to do!!
This looks like such a fun dish to make! I would love to try making these with my little boy!
Sounds like so much of fun and cute craft and it looks very real indeed. I love the way how you have did it. My kids would definitely love trying this at home. Thanks for the wonderful crafty idea.
That definitely looks like a fun thing to do. Kids would love it I’m sure and as long as they are still edible (I love hard boiled eggs). As for the movie—–I barely got through the first one—I would be under the seat at this one!!
Oh my that looks so real it almost terrified me! My boys would enjoy making this and would even have more fun playing after with their dinosaur toys. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a cute craft!! I am excited to see this new movie, I loved the older movies when they came out!
This is such a cute project. I could see my son loving to do something like this really soon. He loves Dinosaur Train! I’m going to pin it for later.
Oh my gosh! I need to try that! All of these eggs look so cool! I am loving this. It looks like so much fun to make as well. (Big kid at heart here). Haha!
This is so cool and the kids would like this so much. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a great idea wow! I have to do this ASAP, my kids love dinosaurs and the fact that these are still edible to is double awesome.
These are dino-riffic! I know a certain 5 year old who would be over the moon if he saw this. So creative!
Ok These are just so cool and my grandsons will love them! Guess what we’ll be doing! I love the dyes too!
This is a great everyday craft idea! Boiled eggs aren’t just for Easter.
What a fun summer craft the ids will be able to help you make. My son is really into dinosaurs, so this would be right up his alley. I love that you used Kool Aid!
We’ve made these before, and my kids always get a kick out of the marbling. I can’t wait to see that movie. It looks so good!
What a great idea. We have Jurassic World fans in the house so this would be great with lunch when we go to the movies.
These would be great to make before we see Jurassic World on Tuesday! Great idea!!!
These are too cute! I love the brown shells and I love that this is a healthy and fun snack for the kids.
This is a cool craft to get the kids in the mood for the movie. And I love mason jars in any way, shape of form…LOL!
Interesting and beautiful. My kids would love this. Plus, it seems that mason jars are on sale at Michael’s!
We’ve made these for Easter. I have never used Kool-aid before though. I will need to try it out.
That is so creative. With the new movie I am sure these will be a hit at parties this summer!
I have to do those!! Many many thanks for this diy tutorial 🙂
Very Cute!
Those look so cute. Looks like a fun activity to do with kids. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Oh wow, those are pretty cool. I might try this with my kids sometime this summer. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter is obessed with paleontology! She would love these.

What a great idea! Nutritious and fun! 🙂
That is such a fun activity! I will be doing this, this summer.
My kids would love this! We are doing dinosaurs in science next year and this is a perfect activity.
This looks like a fun way to get the kids interested in eating hard boiled eggs. I’m going to have to make some with the kids. Thank you for sharing.
I didn’t even stop to think about the eating part of it. Eggs are an acquired taste I think and this would definitely help kids get used to them!
How super cute. I’ll be sharing this with my sisters who’s kids are still young enough to appreciate it.
This is such a great idea to make the movie an event.
This looks like a great project to do with the kids. I will have to share this with my friends with little ones.
I love this idea! And it’s so neat how you left some of the shell on some. Definitely pinning to try later!
I love the dinosaur idea! I can’t wait to try this with my aunties boys. I think they’ll really enjoy this .
Very neat idea! I love that they are dyed with Kool-Aid. So creative!
OK you know I’m going to be trying this with my boys. This is such a great idea!
How colorful and creative! My son has always been fascinated with dinosaurs. I think he would enjoy creating those dinosaur eggs.
What a creative project! It looks like a fun family activity. I love it!
This is amazing Liz! I had to try this with the boychild, He would be obsessed with this project.
Those are so neat. I will have to share this with my wife and kids.
Who says coloring eggs are only for Easter? I love these dino eggs!
What a fun thing to make! Would be a great idea for birthday party party treats!
These eggs are so cute, my kids would love to make these. I never thought to use Kool-Aid but it totally worked out. I’m glad you explained the brown, I was wondering what flavor or kool-aid is that. hahahaha
Oh, those are brilliant! My boys would adore these, I’m bookmarking for as soon as the weekend arrives, they’re so fun!
Omg! How cute are these eggs?!? My daughter would love to make some of these.
These are cute. Hmm.. maybe instead of other dyes we should use kook-aid for easter!
What a clever idea! I’m sure my daughter will love these. Thanks!
These are cool and fun ideas!! My kids totally loves this. They might want to try it today as in now.
What cool dino eggs. I’ll have to let the kids try these, they’d have a blast.
my three-year-old is going through a dinosaur phase right now. I might plan on doing this with him this weekend for breakfast.
What a neat idea! The kids would have a lot of fun making and eating them.
These are so cool! I love that you made them with Kool Aid, so the colors are from a real food product, and not just a dye. Kids would have to love these!
How cute! The twins will love this! They’ve discovered dinosaurs and this will just tickle them!
Those are so cute! My kids would get a huge kick out of making these. They love dinosaurs. One of them just discovered The Land Before Time, and they like everything to do with dinosaurs now.
How cool are these?! My nephew will be with us this summer and I can’t wait to try it out with him! Thanks so much for the tutorial 🙂
I LOVE this idea!!! These would be fun for a Jurassic birthday party too!
They would! I have a dinosaur excavation activities (sand and paintbrushes) that would be good too.
What an awesome idea. Dino eggs would be super fun for the kids to make. These would be great to use for a dinosaur themed birthday party too!
That’s crazy, cool! I don’t know why I never thought about it!
What a fun little craft to do with the kids! My son is all about dinosaurs right now so he would love this!
Mine is too! I don’t think they are quite old enough for the movie, but this will tide them over until they get a little bigger.
That looks fun. Wonder if broxton would eat them or not 🙂
This is would be so much fun!! My kids would love this fun idea!!
What great fun that would appeal to children of all ages! Who wants to make these right now? ME!
What a fun and easy craft idea, so cute!
What an adorable idea! I recently saw the movie and loved it.
These are perfect for a Jurassic World party! I like that you used KoolAid to dye them. The colors are fun and vivid.
My daughter already loves playing with colored plastic eggs in her play kitchen!
These dinosaur eggs are so cute. It would be so fun making them.
This looks like a ton of fun for kids. Especially those that are really into Jurassic World. I will have to make sure I pass this on.
What a fun idea! I love this. I will have to do it with my kids.
Wow – those are super fun and I could totally do that. I am absolutely love the webbing on the shells

This is such a cute idea! My kids would love this!
I would probably have a hard time with the boiling of the eggs. I’ve no patience for this. My girls on the other would enjoy this little project after seeing the new Jurassic World movie this summer.
my boys would love this! Thanks for sharing!
Those are so fun! I need to make some of those with my sons.
I shared this on my blog page and cannot wait to try this with my kiddos
We are off to see Jurassic World this weekend and this is a clever fun craft to do!
That is so cool! I have to make these with my oldest! I already have all the ingredients too which makes this a total win!
These are really cool .. too realistic looking I would be almost afraid to eat them . I’ve heard the new Jurrasic Park Movie is really good and I can’t wait to see it
Very cool for the kids to have fun making, i love that you used Kool-Aid too! Yours came out so awesome!
I want to see the movie but my kids might be a little too young to enjoy the movie.
Those eggs are adorable. I will definitely be making these with my kids.
This is the cutest idea I have seen to go with the new Jurassic World movie. Thanks for the idea!
Oh wow. What a cool idea. We love dinosaurs and will be making these.
This is such a cute idea! I’d have never thought of using Kool-Aid as a dye. Nice!
This is super creative! Two of my kids are really into dinosaurs and will love this!
This look soo fun! We’ll have to add this to our summer craft list! Thanks for sharing.
This is so much fun! My kids would love this!
What a clever idea. I love how they turned out!
How creative. My granddaughters will love this.
What a really creative idea. I don’t know if I could eat those eggs though, I can see how kids would love them.
This is awesome. It may seem like something simple to you, but you have just given me something that hopefully will help me bond with my stepdaughters. You see, we are leaving where we live now (what I consider home) to move to where my husband is from – a VERY different place. Part of that reason is his military career just ended and we are going to be closer to his kids now. It will be an adjustment for us all and fun things like this will certainly be ice-breakers. So glad I saw this! Thanks again.
Seriously a BRILLIANT idea!!! I can’t wait to make these for my boys! (But I think I’ll wait until they’re in bed one night!)
These are so neat looking! I bet there will be some really excited dino fans when these are made!
That is really creative! I think my son would love this.
This is a great movie night idea! Plus, it’s a healthy snack!
Ha! Those eggs are so cool! My girls love hard boiled eggs. I bet they’d like to make some dino eggs, too!
I would have never of thought to use Kool-Aid to dye eggs. That is such a smart idea! I saw Jurassic World and it was great!
I know a lot of little kids would love this family activities. Image color is clear. Thanks for sharing.
Oh these look like so much fun to make those. My daughter would get a kick out of this.

These are so awesome looking and so much fun to make! I think a weekend dinosaur egg making session is going to happen this coming weekend!
i completely agree! They look like a blast to make with younger and older kids!
Oh my goodness, these are so awesome. My little man would love these as he is obsessed with Jurassic park. LOL> Thanks for sharing.
I know a few little paleontologists that would just adore your dinosaur eggs. They look so cool with the cracked shell pattern.
How fun are those! I’m not the biggest fan of eggs, but with the Kool-aid flavor I might sneak a few for myself.
This is so cute! I am really excited to see Jurassic Park… and to maybe have a date night! I know that crafting with the kids before hand will help them sleep!
What a cool project to make with kids. Just in time for the new dinosaur movie!
Okay now that is an awesome idea. My nephews would both go bonkers over something like this – they LOVE dinosaurs.
This is such a cute idea! I’ve never seen anything like it. I know my son would enjoy a good dinosaur story after finding some “lost” dinosaur eggs outside (hint, hint).
These are great! My daughters would love to make them. We love eggs! I think the eggs look awesome like this!
Super cool idea for the kids! Might have to do that this summer! It is going to be a long summer but with neat ideas like this one, the kids are bound to have FUN!!!
Are they telling you that they are bored yet? I have scared mine with threats that I’ll find chores for them if they tell me they’re bored.

Oh wow! What a cute idea. My husband and kids would love to do this.
My boys would love these eggs! We are so excited to see Jurassic World, this would help build the excitement!

(I can not wait for the movie!)
We saw Jurassic World, and it was amazing. I can’t wait to make these Dinosaur eggs with the kids.

Thanks for this delicious craft idea! I can’t wait to take my boys to see the new Jurassic World movie, this will tie in perfectly 😀
I must be pretty awesome if my Easter eggs look like these somewhat, huh? I am trying to help my boys learn about dinosaurs so this would be such a fun activity!
Educational and tasty, both!

I like the idea of tying in the activity with the movie. We are planning to see the movie this weekend.

We love this idea too! And I want a theater like that!
That’s a fun project for the kids. I’m still debating about whether or not to take my youngest to the new Jurassic movie. He’s a bit of a chicken like his mama. 😉

This is such a cute idea especially with the release of Jurassic World this summer! My kiddos just finally watched the original Jurassic Park and were mesmerized! We’ll have to try a batch of these before we head to the drive-in for lastest dino movie!
What a cute idea. My kids would love this. Even more so because it is dinosaur related and it is geared to the movie they cannot wait to see – Jurassic World.
This is such a neat idea. My son is so exited about seeing this movie. I will have to surprise him with some eggs.
My boys LOVE dinosaurs, and this will be fun to make with them!
