Ten Plagues Passover Centerpiece 2

G.d has promised Moshè that he would demonstrate his power to convince Pharaoh; but at the same time, he would be convincing the Hebrews to follow his path. First, G.d would "harden the heart" of the Pharaoh, making him adamantly against the Hebrews' leaving. Then he would produce a series of plagues whose escalating severity culminated with the death of every firstborn Egyptian male.

I want to show you quickly the Passover Centerpiece for your table. 
It will be a long night tonight and a most important part of tonight is to engage the children. That’s why we do all those different things during the Seder. The entire Seder is framed around this concept of engaging and answering to the children, so as to teach them the story of our nation’s Exodus from Egypt (and it’s significance in our lives today!).
In the spirit of engaging the children and getting them excited about the Seder, we created this fun Passover centerpiece kit. 

You can recreate the same thing on your table. We used whatever vases we had and filled them up with “plagues”.

The Plagues
Blood
Frogs
Lice
Flies
Pestilence
Boils
Hail
Locusts
Darkness

We hunted our local stores and Amazon for supplies. But, really overall, your creativity in doing this isthe best part.

Kids friendly Passover centerpiece kit

The Seder plate is the focal point of the proceedings on the first (two) night(s) of Passover. Whether it is an ornate silver dish or a humble napkin, it bears the ceremonial foods around which the Seder is based: matzah, the zeroa (shankbone), egg, bitter herbs, charoset paste and karpas vegetable.

Though many Passover hosts and hostesses feel enslaved by intense holiday preparations, here's how you can create a nice and kids friendly Passover centerpieces with ease.
When the Passover table is crammed with wine bottles, glasses, seder plates and boxes of matzo, finding the right centerpiece can be tricky.
If you want to add flowers think about using topiaries because they provide height without obstructing the view, they do not die so you can start with white roses in the arrangement for the seders and switch to lemons or strawberries for the end of the holiday.
For large tables, scattering clusters of flowers in bud vases add color without the bulkiness (or expense!) of a formal arrangement.
Opt for vibrant colored tablecloths with patterned textures and choose simple flowers within variations of two colors that contrast with the tablecloth. As long as the flowers are in the color scheme, inexpensive ones will do the trick.


Look for some disposable plastic plates Passover Seder dishes, ideal for children for Passover if you're in a hurry and want to decor your table on a budget.






 

Pesach Lamb Needle Felting kit for beginner

The Shabbat which precedes Passover is called Shabbat haGadol, the Great Sabbath, for many and varied reasons, as we shall explain below.
There are also many special customs associated with this Shabbat. It was in Egypt that Israel celebrated the very first Shabbat Ha-Gadol on the tenth of Nissan, five days before their redemption. On that day, the Children of Israel were given their first commandment which applied only to that Shabbat, but not to future generations: On the tenth day of this month [Nissan]... each man should take a lamb for the household, a lamb for each home (Exodus 12:3).
This mitzvah of preparing a lamb for the Passover offering four days before it was to be brought, applied only to that first Passover in Egypt, and the Torah does not tell us that we must continue to do so before every future Passover. Nevertheless, the people continued to do this to make sure that their lambs had no blemishes which would preclude their being sacrificed.

Passover (Door with Blood ), Pesach ornament idea

All entryways were daubed with blood. The people of Israel were about to be birthed into a new people, a free people, no longer slaves of others. It would be a long infancy – once birth was assured.
Exodus tells of Blood on the doors
"They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. (...) It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Shabbat Hagadol
The Shabbat which precedes Passover is called Shabbat haGadol, the Great Sabbath, for many and varied reason

The Torah commanded them to take their lambs and tie them to the bedpost. When they did so, their Egyptian neighbors saw this and asked:
"What is the lamb for?"
The Children of Israel answered: "It is to be slaughtered as a Passover sacrifice as G‑d has commanded us."


If don't have time to search for a reclaimed piece of wood and work on it, look for unfinished pieces of wood doors . Then paint it and apply felt as blood.

"Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman,  and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months.  But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch.

3D Crossing the Sea Kit

The Crossing of the Red Sea (Hebrew: קריעת ים סוף Kriat Yam Suph) is part of the biblical narrative of the escape of the Israelites, led by Moshè, from the pursuing Egyptians in the Book of Exodus 13:17-14:29. 
Moshè held out his staff and the Red Sea was parted by G.d. The Israelites walked on the exposed ground and crossed the sea, followed by the Egyptian army. Moshè again moved his staff once the Israelites had crossed and the sea closed again, drowning the whole Egyptian army.
