Passover celebrates the release of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. Each year families gather to tell the story of Passover. My kids delight in the story and love to recount the plagues each year. During the Seder you can be sure to see my kids running around the house acting like the frogs! I am always on the look out for ideas and crafts to keep Passover fun and entertaining for the kids! Lucky for me I found Sara, better known as Creative Jewish Mom and she has graciously offered to share some of her great Passover crafts with me on her blog Creative Jewish Mom! Please feel free to click the link to find Passover crafts!
