This is the first Passover craft I do with my kindergarten class each year, and they always love it. It’s a great craft to do once you’ve shared the Passover story because it highlights this life-changing moment for Moses. There are a lot of pieces and steps to it, but kids truly enjoy cutting the oval for the “water” and lots of little strips of cardstock for the “reeds,” drawing a little face on Baby Moses, and of course tucking him in with a cozy blanket! You can have your kiddos’ masterpieces on your seder table, and they’ll be so proud to show everyone what they’ve made, especially when you get to the Baby Moses part of the haggadah!

In telling the Passover story, we say that WE were slaves in Egypt — WE, not THEY. When we teach our children to internalize this shared experience of oppression to freedom, we are also teaching them empathy. We are teaching them to have awareness of the oppression, inequality, and tragedy that still exists in the world today. We are teaching them that they have a responsibility to repair the world in any way they can. Building an Egg Carton Pyramid is of course very fun, and your kiddos will surely love it! But in the process, you can also have an age-appropriate conversation that helps them begin to understand what it means to be a slave. What if you built these pyramids all day every day and didn’t have a chance to rest? What if each of these “bricks” weighed as much as you do, but you were expected to keep building and building, even if you were tired, and even if you were in pain? What if a leader led you and all the other slaves out of Egypt to freedom — how would you feel?

When the Israelites fled Egypt and reached the other side of the Red Sea, they sang and danced because they knew they were free. Add some extra joy and music to this part of your seder with these adorable mini tambourines! Made with bangle bracelets, mini jingle bells, and yarn, these little sound makers are so fun to make and even more fun to use! Chag Pesach Sameach!

Won’t your kiddos be bursting with pride when they have their very own seder plate at your family Passover seder?! This adorable craft is fun and easy, and your kiddos will be able to put real seder plate foods in the little cupcake papers if they wish. How fun that will be! I created a Passover Seder Plate PDF (it’s free — yay!), which includes graphics of each seder plate food and also blank circles if they want to draw their own pictures. Chag Pesach Sameach!

With this craft, children are able to closely examine and draw each item on the seder plate — what a fun way to learn about this central part of the Passover celebration! Children’s drawings are incredibly precious, and this craft will surely be a family keepsake that you will treasure for many Passovers to come!

Looking for the afikomen is the highlight of the Passover seder for kids, and with this eco-friendly craft, they’ll have a special place to put the afikomen before the grown-ups hide it! All you need is a paper grocery bag, scissors, a hole punch, yarn, and whatever you want to use to decorate it. There are endless possibilities for creativity, and it can be used year after year! This afikomen bag will surely become a family treasure for many Passovers to come!

Add some color to your seder table and keep your matzah organized and easily accessible with a Duct Tape Matzah Tray! Working with duct tape is super fun, especially since there are so many different colors and patterns to choose from! Kids will enjoy covering five pieces of recycled cardboard with their favorite colors and patterns and then the grown-ups can hot glue everything together (only grown-ups should use the hot glue gun, of course). Your beautiful and unique matzah tray will be surprisingly sturdy, and your whole family will look forward to using it year after year! Chag Pesach Sameach!

Truly one of the best parts of the Passover seder is when the kids sing The Four Questions! In our family, we have all the kids sing it together, and when they do, it fills the room with joy! Help your kiddos prepare for their big moment with this simple FOUR QUESTIONS BOOK that includes the Hebrew, transliteration, and translation of each question, plus a large outline number that they can decorate any way they like.

During Passover week, we all eat A LOT of matzah! And with all that matzah eating comes lots of matzah boxes. These can of course be recycled, but it’s much more fun to make Jewish Stars out of them instead! For this super simple eco-friendly craft, just cut two triangles of the same size from a matzah box, glue them together with one triangle pointing up and the other triangle pointing down, and voila — you have a Jewish Star! To make this craft even easier, I created a free Jewish Stars Template that includes six different sizes of triangles to trace. Hope you and your family have a super fun time setting up a Jewish Star Factory and making lots and lots of Jewish Stars! Chag Pesach Sameach!
