Passover Shtick

by | Mar 10, 2015 | Amazon, Birthday, Passover

Purim has come and gone and I often try to think about Passover. We are lucky to spend the holiday and sederim with family so I close up the house for the week and we head over to my in-laws. One of my joys and challenges is looking for fun stuff to add to the Passover table. I should note, we did this even before there were children. We’ve had shower caps for animals, jumping frogs, wind up frogs, ping pong balls, and more.

Here are some fun items I have found:

Passover Bingo

Passover Puppets

Plague Masks

Passover Seder Plate Mold

Blood:

Frogs:


Lice

Wild Beasts

Cattle

Boils

Hail

Locust/Insects


Darkness

Death of the First Born

Edible Plagues

Passover for Kids

Passover decluttering challenge

by | Feb 21, 2013 | Organizing & Cleaning, Passover

With the start of lent, I saw a bunch of posts on organizing and purging for lent, basically 40 bags in 40 days. What a great idea for getting ready for Passover. I use it as my time to do spring cleaning, even when we will be gone for the holiday. So I’m challenging you to use the time between Purim and Passover to clean up the house, purge, organize, donate, and share. Here’s my list of places to clean and purge:
25 entry hall closet
26 bookcases
27 dining room
28 living room
