You can’t think of Easter without Peeps popping into your head.
Those marshmallow shaped bunnies and chicks, of all sizes and colors, just scream ‘put me in an Easter basket for young children to devour.’
But the Concord Public Library is hoping you take a different approach with your Peeps purchase this year: like make a diorama out of them. That’s right, the Peeps Diorama contest is back and the library’s staff is looking for submissions.
The contest is free and open to all ages, and you can work alone or in a team. All you have to do is recreate a scene from your favorite book or movie, using Peeps as characters, of course. The dioramas should be about the size of a shoebox and dropped off at the library between March 25 and April 8. That’s really all the rules.
Library staff will judge the entries and prizes will be awarded on Wednesday, April 13, at the library’s National Library Week party
Now you’ve just got to figure out what scene you want to recreate. Time’s ticking, so get to work.
