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”.

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.
