Passover activities for kids
Easter and Passover are the big Springtime holidays around here. And while Easter is well-stocked with crafts and projects, Passover...hm. On Twitter, @liasynthis asks:
Do you have any fun Passover ideas for kids? Everything's so ummm, religious. All I see are toys representing the plagues.
I can't help but giggle when I imagine kids playing with little plush locusts. (If you're not familiar with the Passover seder, it includes a recitation the ten plagues sent as reinforcement for Moses's request to the pharoh to let his people go).
Here are a few places to start:
Kaboose: Passover: Crafts, activities, recipes and printables. Lots of great items kids can make to use in the seder. Plus a "parting of the Red Sea" craft!
Chabad.org: Passover for Kids: Great place for kids to learn more about Passover, plus plenty of fun stuff to do.
Kosher4Passover: Passover for Kids: Simple list of activities and puzzles. Thanks for the pointer, @NWRugs!
Kveller: "A Jewish twist on parenting." More than activities -- an entire Jewish parenting community.
Who else has Passover crafts and activities to share? Let us know in the comments!
Emily Sper's Passover: Go Fish is excellent!

I started looking more after I posted the ? on twitter - I guess I challenged myself. I found this page which has some decent links

Too bad Matzah is brown - it would probably be sacrilegious to dye the egg that's on the seder plate :(

Love the bottlecap frogs. We have plague finger puppets BTW. :)Lots of fun ideas to decorate a glass for Elijah. We do some egg-themed "Easter" crafts--eggs are for Passover too!
There's a Jewish homeschooling Yahoo group called chevra. I can see we'll get a lot there in the future. People post a bunch of holiday links & stuff.

Our local pottery-painting place has seder plate to paint. Kind of pricey, but then you have it forever.

It served as both a learning tool for the little ones plus was colorful and fun!

Wow! cool!
I am quite new in passover this year. That’s why looking for something interesting. Really got something special from you here.
Wishing you a happy Passover.
You can take a look at this passover message: goo.gl/lFsMZ on this celebration. Very unique one.

You know, Tiffani -- when I read lists like this I try to keep in mind that I don't have to do everything ALL AT ONCE. It's sort of like the list is the destination and I'm a few miles away, taking small steps but in the right direction.
