12 Clever and Fun Peeps Ideas for Easter

Easter is coming and marshmallow peeps are invading stores in droves. Bunnies and chicks in almost every bright color cover the shelves. And clever, interesting Easter peeps ideas are invading Pinterest. Whether or not peeps are your favorite Easter candy, you can’t avoid them.

My kids always want me to buy them, then they eat one and forget about them. Crazy girls! So this year I thought we would use those forgotten peeps in some kind of clever way. Kick your Easter and spring decorations up a notch with these clever and fun Peeps ideas.

1. Peeps Sushi – by Serious Eats

   This Peeps sushi is genius! These cute ideas for mock sushi look like so much fun. A definite must-do! This will keep my girls occupied for hours! And it includes one of my favorites: rice crispy treats. These cute Easter treats are the grand prize winner in my book. Don’t worry though; I’ve included more cute ideas if the sushi idea doesn’t get you as excited. 

   

2. Peeps Playdoh by The Sits Girls

   What a clever idea, especially if you want to keep the little ones occupied! This turns colorful peeps (both marshmallow chicks and bunny peeps) into a taste-safe activity. This is such a fun idea!

3. Peeps Wreaths – by Mommy Savers and another by Lisa Frost Studio

   I wanted to include both of these wreaths. I found one to be more elegant and the other to be more fun but they both made me smile. If your house lacks enough peeps fans to eat an entire package, these wreaths made from peep bunnies and marshmallow chicks may solve your problem of too many leftover peeps. Plus they are a great addition to Easter time decor.

   

4. Peeps Flower Centerpiece by Two Sisters Crafting

   There are lots and lots of peeps in vase ideas out there. I just loved the colors in this one. This is a great way to make an adorable table centerpiece using Dollar Store items. I love the gradient M&Ms broken up by the little bunnies.
