Peeps Contest 2025

 The Alameda Free Library invites Peep-le of all ages to bring their imagination to life by designing and constructing a Peep-tastic diorama featuring Peeps marshmallow characters.
Your challenge? Create a shoebox-sized diorama inspired by a family-friendly book, movie, TV show, or other theme. Use recycled materials, magazines, paint, pipe cleaners, and other craft supplies to build your Peep-sterpiece!
