Rockin’ Peeps

By Noreen 90 Comments




By Noreen Doll.

Kids can enjoy making these rockin’ peeps and then have fun playing with them.

Rockin' Peeps by Crafty Journal

In fact, a whole flock of peeps is quick and easy.

Rockin' Peeps - Crafty Journal
Rockin’ Peeps

This would be a great Easter party activity, which even preschoolers can do.

The fun thing about these peeps is that they rock!

[Idea from Alicia: I think these are great. I see spring party place cards.]

I got the idea for them here, but I didn’t want mine quite so fancy.

Materials.

Yellow Card Stock

Round Lids or Dishes in Various Sizes

Scissors

Black Foam Scrap

Double Sided Tape or Glue

Yellow Silk Fall Leaves

How to Make Rockin’ Peeps.

1. Trace a circle on the yellow card stock.

rockin-peeps1w-330x318

Draw a triangle there, too.

Cut them out. The easiest way to cut a circle is to turn the paper into the scissors as you cut, rather than turning the scissors.

rockin-peeps2w-330x307

2. Punch 2 black circles from the black foam scrap.

3. Fold the circle in half and crease. The sharper the crease, the closer together the bottoms of the circles will be.

rockin-peeps5w-350x252

4. Fold the triangle in half and crease.

rockin-peeps6w-288x300

Attach the beak as shown.

rockin-peeps8w-370x311

5. Attach the eyes as shown. I like the eyes to be big, and placed fairly close together, and close to the beak.

6. Cut the wings from the fall leaves or flower petals. Shape them if necessary.

rockin-peeps3w-330x271

 

rockin-peeps4w-330x250

7. Attach the wings to each side of the peep.

rockin-peeps9w-400x227

 

rockin-peeps10w-235x400

Your rockin’ peep is ready to rock and roll!

rockin-peeps12w-400x400

Now make a flock of rockin’ peeps in different sizes.

rockin-peeps17w-400x400

Tips.

I used card stock for the largest and smallest peeps, but the middle size peep is just yellow paper.

You would want to use card stock for younger kids, as they are a little rougher with crafts.

If you don’t have silk leaves, you could use the petals from yellow silk flowers for the peep’s wings.

I liked using a darker shade of yellow for the peep’s beak. Orange would also work.

No matter what size the peep, I used the same size eyes for all of them.
