Easter may be over but it’s not too late to take in a little peep show! Be amazed (and amused) by all the creativity involving our favorite little peep marshmallows in Washington Post’s annual Peeps Diorama Contest! Here’s the winning diorama (“Chilean CoPeepapo Mine Rescue”) and a couple of the funny finalists (“Angry Peeps” & Oscar-winning “The King’s Peep”), but be sure to check out the entire gallery here.

Love this idea for a simple and super inexpensive Easter egg garland from Modern Parents, Messy Kids Blog! (And I thought I was the only one who was drawn to those paint chip samples at Home Depot!)

I’m a Blackberry gal myself but even I know how addicting Angry Birds can be! These would make a great birthday treat for a fellow Angry Birds addict. The Crafting Chicks’ blog has all the how-to’s with tons of instructional pictures. I’m guessing the hardest part of the recipe is actually putting the game down long enough to whip these up!

More often than not, you’ll see the kids playing with the cardboard box while those expensive toys are just pushed aside. So instead of dropping some serious cash, grab a cardboard box and get your kids this reusable wheel kit from Rolobox ($14)! Each kit comes with 4 plastic wheels that attach to the corners of any cardboard box using plastic nuts and bolts + a bolt-on tail to pull the box around. With the money you’ll be saving, you can treat yourself to your very own expensive toy!
