We have been loving mess-free crafts recently! It’s a great rainy day activity and there is no mess to clean afterwards! These mess-free heart and clover crafts were a huge hit with my daughters so I wanted to make an Easter version! Peeps marshmallows have always been one of our favorites with their bright colors and fun shapes! What better way to make one than with a mess-free craft! The free printables are linked below for your little one to make one as well!

Free Printables:
Directions:
Place random dots of paint on printable. I only used one main color (pink, purple, blue or yellow) with white.
Place in Ziploc bag by bending paper upward (hotdog style) so the paint doesn’t smear on the edge of bag. Zip closed and tape to table. Have your little one press the paint around! 🙂
Pull the paper out of the Ziploc bags before they dry. This will prevent the paint from sticking to the top of the bags and peeling off.
Repeat with all of the colors and bows!
Allow them to dry completely. I used a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. Once dry, cut them out. If you used acrylic paint you may have to hold the printable backward up to a window or light to see the lines. This is because the paint it thicker than Crayola. You could also cut the Peeps and bows out before painting as well! 🙂
Cut and glue the face dots and the bow (if using) to the Peeps!
The fun thing about Peeps is you can make them any color you would like! I think these would also be cute strung as a banner!
I also like how they have a marbled look when complete, but this can be altered due to the colors used!
Additional printables to color:
I’ve also included two additional printables with the face and bow already “attached” for your little one to color. They could also use watercolor paint as well and the face would still show through. Follow me along on Instagram for more ideas! ♥
