Building a Birdhouse for a Peep

Easter is less than a week away, and I've noticed scads of homeless peeps around. Kasey at One Girl Talks has the solution, build bird houses for them! I thought this was a great idea, so I decided to build a house for a peep.


To make a peep birdhouse you will need to begin with graham crackers and frosting.

Kasey suggested using candy grass for the nest inside, but I couldn't locate any, so I made do with this candy instead.

My nest is lacking a little in design, but I think it will be comfy.


Once the peep sits on the nest, likely eggs will appear.


The house is completed by adding a roof, and it can be decorated with other candies if desired.



You can see in this picture that my roof is beginning to sag a little. I made one fatal error in my house construction. I used a can of soft cupcake frosting as my "cement" and it never set up. I think a batch of royal icing would have been a much better choice in the house construction business. My peep house lasted just long enough to make an afternoon snack for my grandson! Bye, bye birdie!
