ENJOY THE SHOW!

In April 2010, the University

of New Hampshire did

a great job putting on the

1st Annual Peeps Show – Peep Your

Way to Health.

Everyone in the UNH community was

invited to create a diorama of what it

means to be healthy. The only rule was that the diorama had to include PEEPS!

Health can include any component of the Wellness Wheel.

There are 8 components to wellness: environmental, emotional, spiritual, physical, financial, occupational, social and intellectual.

16 WONDERFUL dioramas were submitted by students and staff!

The dioramas were all on display in the MUB for viewing.

A highly-esteemed panel of judges then voted on the best dioramas in the individual and group categories.

Check out these great dioramas submitted by individuals!

An individual category means 1-2 people worked on the diorama. DRUM

ROLL PLEASE……

And there were GRAND PRIZE and RUNNER UP WINNERS

Enough talking! Lets see the winners and all the submissions!

Kripeeplu Yoga is the Yoga of consciousness.  Kripeeplu puts great emphasis on proper breath, alignment, coordination of breath and movement, and "honoring the wisdom of the peep."  Peeps work according to the limits of their individual flexibility and strength. Using this form of yoga peeps create a harmonic relationship with breath and life, strength and flexibility, and live mindfully.Kripeeplu Yoga I n d i v i d u a l S u b m i t t e d b y :

Muscle Building 'MallowsAs you can see these four peeps are staying healthy and in excellent shape (seriously, check out those muscles) by making the time to exercise. While the bunnies are busy lifting weights, running on the treadmill and doing push-ups, the chick seems a bit preoccupied with his reflection. Although it is great if your motivation is not pure vanity, the most important thing is that you make a plan to exercise and stick to it.

Gardening Peeps The best exercise is outside! Growing your own food keeps you active and in tune with nature and the systems of living things - plants, like people, need proper nutrition and nurturing environments. Planting, weeding, watering, and fertilizing generates experience in the long-term efforts involved in creating and maintaining a healthy garden and a healthy self - there are no quick fixes or magic pills: it is a gradual, daily effort with wonderful rewards! These peeps are careful to protect themselves from the sun, but are also getting their daily dose of sunny vitamin D. Gardening grows delicious fresh vegetables and fruits, beautiful flowers, healthy and strong muscles and minds, and companionship with living things.

Saving the World One Peep at a Time The United States Peep Corp requires their Peeps to stay physically and mentally fit. U.S. Peeps, like civilian peeps, use physical activity as a way to stay physically fit and mentally ready to tackle any situation they encounter in everyday life. U.S. Peeps know that it is not just about having a hard body that makes someone healthy.

Foosball PeepsThe diorama is a mini fooseball table with peeps playing the roles of the fooseball players. Fooseball represents a game that is physical to play but takes teamwork and mental strength. Also, the peeps look really cute in it :).

A Peep Into Nature There are many dimensions to health, but we often forget the importance of play and leisure. Having the opportunity to enjoy nature with others leads to a healthy mind, body, and spirit

Balance Your Peeps…Look At Health As A WholeOur diorama depicts peeps on a see saw balancing fruit and vegetables on one end and ice cream and cookies on the other. This illustrates our philosophy that “all foods fit” in moderation and eating is a balance act. We also have a peep “de-stressing” enjoying the sunshine on a swing wearing sunglasses. We also have a peep enjoying physical activity by jumping rope. All three of these peeps illustrate the importance of looking at the whole picture of how you take care of yourself, incorporating nutrition, physical activity and stress reduction.

The Clothesline Project As April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention Program (SHARPP) thought it would be great to create a peep size Clothesline Project. The Clothesline Project is a visual display that bears witness to sexual violence and relationship abuse. Each shirt is decorated to represent a particular experience, by the survivor themselves or someone who cares about the survivor. The project lets each survivor tell their story in their own unique way, using words and/or artwork to decorate their shirt. Once finished, they would then hang their shirt on the clothesline. This very action serves many purposes. It acts as an educational tool for those who come to view the Clothesline; it becomes a healing tool for anyone who make a shirt - by hanging the shirt on the line, survivors, friends and family can literally turn their back on some of that pain of their experience and walk away; finally it allows those who are still suffering in silence to understand that they are not alone.

In our diorama, we portray the idea of staying healthy through engagement in play and leisure, as well as social participation, which we believe are key elements for quality of life. At Peep Park we encourage inclusion of all "peeple" of different abilities to participate in a wide range of activities.

Play is an important aspect of everyday life, and can be done year round. It helps promote a healthy and active lifestyle in a diverse society. Playing Peeps

Staying active and participating in enjoyable activities is important to health. Different adaptations make it possible for peeple to get involved and stay healthy.
