Easter Kids Peep Party

An Easter kids Peeps party is all about embracing color, creativity, and playful fun. This theme instantly feels exciting thanks to the bright pastel tones and familiar shapes kids recognize. The overall goal is to create an atmosphere that feels energetic and welcoming without being overwhelming.

Decorations can be simple yet impactful. Peeps-inspired colors, playful shapes, and fun table setups help set the tone quickly. A Peeps party works best when the décor feels lighthearted and cheerful rather than overly styled.

Activities are the heart of this party style. Kids love interactive stations where they can decorate, build, or create something of their own. These moments keep them engaged while adding to the festive feel of the celebration.

A Peeps party also encourages group fun. Games, shared activities, and collaborative crafts help kids connect and enjoy the celebration together. When planning, focus on flow and flexibility so kids can move freely between activities.

With the right balance of color, creativity, and organization, an Easter kids Peeps party becomes a celebration that feels joyful, inclusive, and perfectly suited for younger guests.

Welcome Peeps!!!  We threw a fun little peep themed party to get into the Easter spirit.  My daughters were so excited by the fun pastels and the clever play on words with the Peeps candy!

For this little party, we made vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting, which we topped with a combination of jelly beans, cupcakes toppers from the printables and of course, actual peeps marshmallows.  The kids enjoyed decorating and eating the cupcakes!

 

How to make the Peeps Easter Cookies

Aren’t those Peeps yellow bunnies the perfect cookie?  Making peeps shaped cookies was one of my favorite parts of prepping for this party.  Finding a cookie cutter shaped like a peep was actually a bit of a challenge. 

I was so excited when I finally found the perfect fit!! I used this awesome peep shaped cookie cutter to make the fun peep shaped cookies.

The cookies were super simple to make.  I used my basic sugar cookie recipe and some royal icing. You can buy that mix or here is a great royal icing recipe to use!! 

If you are new to cookie decorating, you also need a piping bag, icing tip 1/2, coupler, and clip.  I recommend this piping tip set.  It’s reasonably priced and includes everything you need.

Prepare the cookie dough per the recipe.  Once the cookies are ready to cut, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thick.  Use the cookie cutter to cut the cookies and bake. 

Once the cookies are completely cool (I recommend waiting a full day to top with icing), outline the cookies with the colored icing. 

Fill the center of the cookie with icing and using a toothpick, rub out any imperfections in the icing.  Allow the icing to dry. Then add the black eyes and nose.  You can also use these little black sprinkles for this detail!

If you are going to throw a party, you need to have some party favors, right?  Why not put some of those delicious cookies into a little treat bag and make some “treats for your peeps”!?

Easter Kids Treats

Easter kids treats should be fun, colorful, and easy to enjoy. Peeps-themed treats naturally fit this description, making them a favorite for Easter parties and classroom celebrations. These treats are often visually playful, which instantly grabs kids’ attention.

Individually portioned treats work especially well. They are easy to hand out, easy to eat, and help keep things organized. Treats that look festive without being messy are ideal for kid-focused parties.

Another great aspect of Easter kids treats is how accessible they are. Many ideas are quick to assemble and do not require advanced baking skills. This makes them perfect for involving kids in the preparation process.

Treats also double as décor at a Peeps party. When displayed together, the bright colors create a cheerful dessert table that adds to the overall atmosphere. With a mix of sweetness and simplicity, Easter kids treats help make the party feel special without added stress.

Making Easter treats for your kids using Peeps is really simple. You can bake and decorate sugar cookies like above, or you can use the peeps themselves in fun treats.  I decided to put peeps on top of the buttercream frosted cupcakes. 

The peeps were perfection on top of the cupcakes.  I want to eat all my cupcakes with peeps on top forever now.  Ok, maybe not FOREVER…but at least until my peeps supply runs out.

The part of this party that was the most fun, was mixing the pretty pastels with the black and white.  I used black and white treat bags for the party favors, black and white mini grid plates for the food.

I also found adorable plastic bunny straws at Michael’s!  The kids also ate ice cream which paired perfectly with these adorable reusable ice cream spoons!!

So one question you might be asking yourself at this point is “Where do I find peeps?”  Target…you find the peeps at Target!!! 

This is definitely the best selection of peeps candy I’ve found anywhere (and yes it is an affiliate link so if you click my link below and order I will be compensated at no additional cost to you…but seriously…Target is where it is at!!)

You can even order online and have them gather it all up for you.  It’s winning all around!!

Easter Kid craft ideas

Easter kid craft ideas are a must for a Peeps party. Crafts give kids something hands-on to enjoy and help break up the celebration with creative downtime. Peeps-inspired crafts are especially popular because they are colorful, simple, and fun.

These crafts do not need to be complicated. Simple projects that focus on decorating, building, or assembling allow kids of different ages to participate successfully. Craft stations also help keep kids engaged throughout the party.

One of the best parts of Easter crafts is that they double as party favors. Kids love taking home something they made themselves, which adds value to the activity.

Crafts also support the theme visually. When finished projects are displayed or carried around, they reinforce the Peeps theme and add to the party’s charm. Easter kid craft ideas are an easy way to combine creativity, fun, and memorable moments.

Looking for some fun kids Easter crafts?  Why not take your ordinary Easter crafts up to the next level and craft for Easter Peep Style?  Here are some fun and simple peep themed craft ideas…

Free Easter Printables

Free Easter printables are a lifesaver when planning a Peeps party. They help streamline décor, activities, and organization while keeping everything cohesive. Printables can be used for signs, games, activity sheets, and decorative accents.

One of the biggest benefits of printables is flexibility. You can print only what you need and customize how everything is used. This makes planning easier and more budget friendly.

Printables also work well for kids. Activity sheets, coloring pages, and simple games give children something engaging to do while staying on theme.

When used throughout the party space, printables help create consistency. Matching colors and designs make the celebration feel intentional without extra effort. Free Easter printables are a simple way to add polish and fun to a Peeps party.

So the first amazing idea is to use the Easter Peep Printables to style an Easter party like the one above. The printables have the five classic peep colors and lots of fun black and white dots!  If you use the printables, I would love to see pictures!

Peeps Crafts

Peeps crafts are a highlight of any Peeps-themed party. These projects lean into the playful nature of the theme and encourage kids to get creative. Bright colors and simple shapes make these crafts approachable for all ages.

Peeps crafts often involve decorating, building, or transforming simple materials into something festive. Kids love seeing how their creations come together, which builds excitement and confidence.

Crafts can be done individually or as group activities, making them flexible for different party sizes. Finished crafts can be displayed during the party or taken home as keepsakes.

By including Peeps crafts, you add an interactive element that keeps kids entertained while reinforcing the theme. These projects bring fun, creativity, and a sense of accomplishment to the celebration.

Make your own peep.  Use the below peep outline and have your child decorate their own peep.  Be traditional and use glitter or glue and tissue paper squares, be creative and decorate your peep with personality!  Whatever you do…have a blast making your own peep.

Easter activities for kids

Easter activities for kids help keep the party moving and engaging. Peeps-themed activities are especially effective because they feel playful and accessible. These activities can be simple games, challenges, or creative stations.

The best activities allow kids to participate at their own pace. This helps avoid stress and keeps the atmosphere relaxed. Activities that encourage movement, creativity, or teamwork are always a hit.

Easter activities also provide structure. They help guide the flow of the party and give kids something to look forward to. With the right mix of active and calm activities, the celebration stays balanced and fun.

Now let’s talk Easter party games!  There are tons of ways to entertain your guests…both the large and the small…check out some of these amazing ideas!

Easter activities with peeps

Easter activities with Peeps take traditional party games and give them a colorful twist. Using Peeps as part of activities instantly adds excitement and keeps kids interested.

These activities often feel like play rather than organized games, which kids love. Simple challenges, decorating stations, or themed tasks keep things light and fun.

Because Peeps are visually playful, activities naturally feel festive. Kids enjoy interacting with familiar shapes and colors, which makes the experience memorable.

Including Peeps in activities helps reinforce the theme and adds consistency across the party. These activities are an easy way to combine fun and creativity.

What is an Easter party without some party activities and games? Of course like any good Easter celebration, you can have a Peep themed easter egg hunt.  Get plastic eggs and fill them all with different peeps.  Have one special peep (like these sugar cookie peeps).  The person who finds the special peep wins!!!

Another idea is to build a peep house from graham crackers.  Check out this awesome Peep house from My Mommy Style!

These desserts work well as both treats and décor. Displayed together, they create a cheerful dessert table that draws attention and excitement.
