It's Easter, Peeps!

I love Peeps. They're gross but oh so kitschy-cute. They spark this wonderful childish onslaught of creativity to see what you can make out of Peeps - monsters, architectural marvels, Jenga pieces, fences, play actors, the occasional nasty snack, and... a replica of a scene from an Oscar-winning animated film.

Here are my favorite Peep creations from Washington Post's 4th Annual Peeps Diorama Contest:

 

1. based on Pixar's UP; 2. based on "Goodnight Moon"

 

1. based on "Alice in Wonderland"; 2. based on "Madeline"

 

1. Pres. Obama with Bo (Simon likes to walk me this way sometimes); 2. First Family's dedication to health (super cool veggies)

 

1. DC Nationals' Presidents Race; 2. DC Blizzard '10 (the Peep trapped in car!)

 

1. Synchronized Peeping; 2. Creating MasterPeeps (insane level of detail - Peeps skeleton!)

 

1. Hitchcock's The Peeps; 2. riff on Chick-fil-A ad (look at the mini signs!)
