Embrace the marshmallow medium
1. Think of a scene and sketch some ideas.
2. Buy the appropriate number of Peeps.
3. Make your diorama using a shoebox or comparable item. If you don’t know how to make a diorama — or what the word means — Google “how to make a diorama.”
4. Dress your Peeps as you see fit. Give them construction paper clothes, toothpick arms, toy props, etc.
How to submit your entry
Take photos of your completed diorama from several angles. Send two of your best photos:
