Easter Crafts Peeps House

Looking for a fun, Easter-themed STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activity? Make a graham cracker Peeps house! This fun and edible craft will get your kids thinking like little engineers as they discover which structures are the most sturdy.

Preschool STEM Peeps House

You’ll Need:

  • Graham crackers
  • Icing
  • Food coloring
  • Marshmallow Peeps and other candies for decorating
  • Coconut (for grass)
  • Cookie sheets
  • Sharp knife to break graham crackers evenly (parent help required!)

Icing and Coconut

Use food coloring to dye the shredded coconut and icing if desired. We started with green coconut and then tried blue. It was my son’s idea to dye the frosting (a little bit at a time, so we could do different colors), and I think it turned out great!

Peeps House Easter for Kids

Don’t be afraid to use a lot of icing when attaching the graham crackers. You can let your kids choose the design, and assist them with attaching the pieces. You can also use a hot glue gun, unless you want it to be completely edible. We just used frosting and chose a box-like shape for the base, adding on small roof pieces to the top. This meant we’d have to cut off the top of the bunny’s ears sometimes, but I let my son decide which structure was his favorite, and he chose the sturdiest!

Graham Cracker decorations

You can frost and decorate the graham crackers before building, or after. It’s up to you!

Peeps House Easter Crafts for Kids

After getting the structure together, you can let your child fill the inside with a Peeps chick or bunny, jelly beans, chocolate eggs, coconut grass, or anything else you’d like. I think these turned out pretty cute for our first time! We even walked one over to our neighbor as a thank you gift for helping with some yard work.

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
