FAQ:
Can my children build the cottage by themselves? No. Happy building requires two people, one to hold the pieces together while they harden (adult) and one to slather on the chocolate (kiddo or another adult). Decorating can be done solo!
Can just a group of adults come to this event? Sure! Who doesn’t love chocolate?
Is the cottage edible or just decorative? Edible! We will send you home with your finished milk chocolate cottage in a cello bag tied with a ribbon for display and whenever you are ready to eat it just dive in! Chocolate will keep well for months if you want to wait til the New Year to enjoy your creation.

Ready to put your Peep world-building skills to the test?
Dive into this creative competition to build a family-friendly diorama from your imagination!

Participants will have 90 minutes to complete their project, followed by clean-up time, scoring, and presentation of awards/certificates!

We will provide:
*4 marshmallow Peeps
*melted white chocolate for edible construction
*”constructive food”- pretzel sticks, graham crackers, etc
*”decorative foods”- small candy/gummi friends, coconut, jelly beans, etc
*some printed backdrops if you are looking for inspiration
*A flat box that can provide a bottom and a back surface, each measuring approximately 1 x 7.25 x 11.5 inches.
*Limited amounts of scotch tape and markers to share.

Contest Rules:
We are offering some fabulous prizes and bragging rights to at least 3 winners. This Peep Diorama contest is open to all ages. Judges will use their discretion, but dioramas likely to excel will be creative, imaginative, and fun. We will share our favorite Peep entries on our social media.
Please include at least 3 different kinds of edible materials. One element of the diorama must be a Peep! You can also add any additional materials that help set your scene.
A title or description may also help translate your vision to the judges. Entries featuring “R” rated or mean-spirited content will not be accepted or considered. Our judges’ decisions are final.
Your diorama must be able to sit on a table surface within the size limits of 8″ (horizontal depth) x 12″ (wide). No more than 24″ (height), and no use of supports or elements that will extend beyond the size limits. If you use the provided box for your set, this will create bottom “stage” measuring 7.25 x 11.5 inches and a backdrop. Dioramas can be smaller than the size limits.

Can I bring outside pieces/supplies for my Peep diorama? Absolutely! We encourage you to plan and bring toys or other pieces that will help you create your Peep vision.

If you are looking for some tips and tricks or inspiration, this website has some great ideas!
