When I was teaching Kindergarten, every year at Christmas time we would make “gingerbread” houses out of graham crackers. One year I was trying to come up with a fun idea for Easter and that’s how this Graham Cracker Peeps House was born.
It’s an adorable way for kids to make an edible Easter decoration and is perfect as a classroom activity. These also make fantastic place favors and you can turn them into place cards by piping the person’s name in icing on the side of the house.
Or, you can make a little sign from cardstock and attach it to a toothpick. Stick it into the Peep to have the chick hold the sign.
