Whether they're your go-to stocking stuffer or a staple in your Easter basket, we can all agree that Peeps are a fan favorite around the holidays. Turns out the sweet-treat is also perfect for using to whip up easy, adorable crafts with kids. We've rounded up 12 ideas for you to try with the little ones this Christmas season. (Hit 'em with a few astounding Peeps facts while you're making them and they'll really think you're a genius.)
Mason Jar Hot Chocolate
This edible craft is two gifts in one — a magical snowglobe that transforms into a yummy cup of hot cocoa. Wait, it's actually three gifts if you count the mason jar that can be used to make another adorable craft.
Peeps on Chocolate Caramel branch
Set the perfect winter scene on your dining room table with these Peeps on a chocolate branch. Substitute the cardinal seen here for this year's Peppermint Bark Dipped Delights for the ultimate wintery treat.
Christmas Peeps Candle
Take making your own Christmas candles to the next level with Peeps Snowmen. This easy craft only takes a few minutes, but will have your house glowing with fun all season.
Peeps S'mores Bars
There's nothing like cozying up by the fire with a loved one, s'mores in hand. You know what's better? Avoiding the mess that comes with those tasty treats. Try these no-bake Peeps s'mores for the best of both worlds!
Christmas Tree Centerpiece
Step aside nativity scene, there's a new holiday display in town. Sure, this centerpiece requires more effort than buying decorations online, but we can assure you that it will put a smile on the face of even the Scroogiest of people.
Melting Peeps Snowman Cookie
Thinking of hosting a cookie exchange party but can't think of something creative enough to share with your friends and family? These melting Peeps snowmen cookies will do the trick. Feel free to swap the sugar cookie base for your favorite cookie — we recommend these Santa's Trash Cookies.
Christmas Peeps Wreath
So long traditional wreaths, hello marshmallow decor! Go 'head and make one of these for every room in your house; wreaths aren't just for the front door, you know.
Christmas Tree Cookie Cups
Entertaining the little ones on a snow day can be hard — there's only so many puzzles and forts one can make. These Christmas tree cookie cups will eat up some time, and best of all, the finished product is a tasty treat for the whole family to enjoy!
Reindeer Gift Bag
Forgot to put together a gift for all your kids' teachers? Never fear, these reindeer Peeps gift bags are a simple solution. With only two components, you could even throw these together before the school bus comes, though we wouldn't recommend waiting that long.
Sledding Peeps Snowmen
When it's too cold outside to go sledding, bring the action indoors. This playful craft is fun to make and to eat (sorry, Peeps!)
Red Velvet Cake Wreath
No need to worry about the leaves on this wreath wilting, though you will be surprised with how quickly they disappear! This red velvet cake will be the star of the dessert table, we promise.
