Every year after dance recital the studio has some fun with marshmallow Easter peeps and my kids look can't wait for it.

They love making art projects around the Peep theme but unlike the Edible Book Festival at the library, they can use whatever materials they want (not just edible) as long as the project includes Peeps in some way.

"Peep Winter Dance" by G. Since we've done Peep Fest for a few years she decided to expand into Peeps from other holidays for her project. L. thought the gingerbread peeps were weird looking so she explained it by telling everyone they had "big brains". I thought they sort of looked like aliens.

L.'s "Peep Love." She enjoys making shadow boxes and last year's "Peep Show" that included purple peeps with canes and hats dancing behind a curtain was really cute. She still hasn't figured out why the adults thought that one was so funny though...

There were some really great entries in the art display this year like the "Just Born" (there's great detail in that one like the dad's cigars) and "Leaning Tower of Peep-za" made by a couple of the older teen dancers.

The Peep Fest also includes a day of carnival games and relay races and you can see all the art and fun in our My.MaineToday.com photo gallery.

If you go to a festival or event this summer, be sure to take some photos and share them in My.MaineToday.com too. You never know, maybe you could win a Vespa with photos of you and your family having fun!
