A nearby library had a drop-in program for kids where they got to make art with Peeps marshmallows...
The welcome station had paint shirts to borrow, spring-colored paper, brown paper bags cut into a basket shape, tape, and a few Peeps to eat.
The work stations had Peeps to dip, nontoxic paint in flat plates, crayons, markers, kid scissors, and paper towels.
Chick Peeps actually make an egg-shape if you print carefully using their bottoms. (They can be printed on their sides too.) Bunny Peeps make a...well, a bunny shape!
I love that this activity is great for kids of all ages. Tots are happy dipping and smearing with their marshmallows. For older kids, a thin coat of paint applied to the bottom of a Peep with a paint brush would make a more precise and uniform print that you could then embellish with markers, glitter, and such.
