We have some awesome friends that invite us every Easter to participate in a Peep Diorama competition. Each year there is a theme and then every family that participates gets to vote for their 5 favorites. The kids LOVE it and look forward to it every year.
This years themes was, "Your Favorite Book". Each girl finally narrowed it down to one of their favorite books and went to work.
Gracie - She loves Michael Vey. I have never read this series but apparently Michael has electric powers. See below:
Aeva picked Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus.
The pink bunny on the left is the mom and she is holding baby Ollie (the purple duck). The blue duck with the "P" on its chest is the principal and the white duck with the "T" is Junie B's Teacher. Junie B. of course is on the right with red hair and she is sticking her tongue out at the bus.
Maddie chose "The Fault in our Stars".
If you have read this book or seen the movie, this is hilarious. The story is about two teenagers that both have different types of cancer and they fall in love. Gus (the yellow bunny), has bone cancer and lost his right leg above the knee (thus the tooth pick and stump on his right leg). He also always keeps a cigarette in his mouth but he never lights it. He says its a metaphor. The cigarette has the power to kill you but only if you light it.
Hazel (the pink bunny), is a girls with a weird form of lung cancer. She has to use oxygen to function. Gus uses his final wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam so she can meet her favorite author. Anyhoo, this is the seen where they are sitting on the bench in Amsterdam and Gus has to tell Hazel that his cancer has come back. Can you feel the sadness exuding from the marshmallow peeps?
At the end of the day, we didn't win the coveted peep trophy but we had a blast making them. Nice work, girls! You may have a future in Peep Art.
