So many ways for families to celebrate Passover and the season of spring

It’s the Jewish holiday Passover! It comes during the Hebrew month of Nisan and the season of spring! We can’t wait to bake matzah, make an afikomen bag, get crafty with matzah necklaces, “plant” parsley and celebrate the Passover story with Baby Moses. We would love to know how your family celebrates Passover, and if you try any of these activities, please share with us in the comments below!

Happy Passover!

DIY: Pipe cleaner broom

Mar 14, 2021

We’re getting ready to spring clean for Passover - an ancient tradition to remove all the chametz (leavened bread) in our homes - each and every crumb! You’re never too young to help! We wanted to share this happy experience with littles by making DIY mini pipe cleaner brooms on a door hanger! You’re invited spring clean and to make a one too!

Have you baked matzah for Passover yet? A fun way to “bake” matzah with children is by sewing a puffy matzah necklace from felt and cotton balls! This adorable matzah has a sprig of parsley on top to remind us that Passover comes during spring, when the land is lush and green. So let’s go “bake” a matzah necklace!

Celebrate the season and welcome the soft rain showers of early spring with a beautiful piece of art made with rain and bleeding tissue paper. You only need a few materials - and the best part - if you’d like, your kiddo can even catch rain drops in a bucket to use in their creation! So let’s go make some rain art!

DIY: Handheld besom (broom)

Passover is coming, and with it, a time for cleaning and renewing. A besom is perfect tool for a spring cleaning. It’s known not only for sweeping, but for also providing your home with clean energy to purify and renew. You only need some pine needles and cotton cording. So let’s go make a handheld besom (broom)!

DIY: Froggy crowns

Mar 2, 2021

We’re hopping into Passover celebrations by making DIY froggy crowns! In the Passover story, hundreds, probably thousands of frogs, rained down from the sky all over Egypt. The lifecycle of a frog reminds us that we are always growing and changing - leaving something behind and gaining something better. So hop to it! Let’s go make a froggy crown!

We love the idea of lovingly watching over Baby Moses too, on his river journey, in a DIY Baby Moses mini diorama. There are a few steps in making this craft, and it would be a lovely project for an adult and child to do together. So let’s go make a Baby Moses mini diorama!

DIY: Afikomen bag

Apr 1, 2020

We think it’s special when children are able to take part in preparing for the Passover Seder. One special way they can do this is by making a DIY afikomen bag, which will later be used to hide and seek the afikomen.

Did you know that passover is also called Chag HaMatzot - The Festival of Matzah? One favorite story that my mom would tell was about a special little matzah that seemed to have a smile on his face.

From the night of our first Passover seder, and for seven days thereafter, it’s a customary tradition to put aside leavened bread, bagels and muffins, and eat matzah. Lots and lots of matzah!

DIY: Matzah

Mar 26, 2020

Something special about Passover is that each and every food on the seder plate tells part of the Passover story. This is especially true for matzah. With only two ingredients, it’s a wonderful activity to bake your own!
