Make a Peep house for Easter using the popular marshmallow treat. These Easter gingerbread houses are the perfect DIY holiday craft!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Looking for a fun, creative, and edible kids\u2019 craft this Easter<\/a>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These homemade Easter gingerbread houses using Peeps marshmallows are such a fun activity to do with kids or friends and family. The process is very similar to making gingerbread houses for Christmas, except we\u2019re using cute Easter candy!<\/p>\n

Follow along to make a Peep house of your own!<\/p>\n

\"Fun<\/p>\n

How to make a Peep house for Easter.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Only some simple, inexpensive supplies are required for this fun kids craft!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need some graham crackers<\/a>, Easter candy like Peeps<\/a>, sprinkles<\/a>, and (most importantly) a thick icing to act as your \u201cglue\u201d when constructing your Peep house. I used a tube of Wilton decorating icing<\/a>, and that worked nicely. It needs to dry hard and thick to hold the houses together.<\/p>\n

\"making<\/p>\n

Give your Easter Peep house some grass with shredded coconut!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This edible grass is completely optional, but it\u2019s so easy and fun to make.<\/p>\n

First, I added about a cup of shredded coconut<\/a> to a plastic baggie. Then, I mixed up a teaspoon of water with two drops of green food coloring<\/a>. Add the water\/food coloring mixture to the baggie, shake up the contents, and the shredded coconut will take on a nice green color. You can then use this \u201cgrass\u201d for your Peeps houses!<\/p>\n

Make the base of your Peep house first by using frosting to stick the three walls and base together, as shown above<\/em>, and then let that dry\/set for a few minutes. Then, attach the pitched roof to the top. Finally, you can embellish your houses with coconut grass, Peeps, Easter candy, etc. So fun and easy to create!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hip Tip:<\/strong> Make sure to use lightweight\/small candy or sprinkles to decorate the roof, or it could cave in. I had that happen with heavier candy. <\/em>\ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
