What you need:
Strawberry or Black shoestring licorice
Marshmallow Peeps in your choice of colors and shapes
Cereal with holes (Cheerios work best)
Cocktail pretzels or any other stringable food
What to do:
Using a skewer or other sharp instrument (an adult should help here), poke holes throughout the sides of the ears of the Bunnies. From here,you can string together many different designs with the stringable food. The necklaces can be tied behind the neck, for a truly sweet fashion statement (if they last long enough).
To make piercing and stringing the marshmallows easier, grease both the skewer and the licorice strings. Getting the licorice through the hole is difficult for small fingers. I found that the easiest way to deal with this was to "stretch" the hole as we pierced it with the skewer and also stretch it again as we threaded the licorice through. The easiest place to pierce the Peeps was through the bottom of the ears on the bunnies, and through the neck on the chicks. The licorice strings are very fragile, especially when loaded down with Peeps and fruit loops. We simply ate anything that broke. Our mistakes were delicious!
