Pesach
Starter
Yesterday we learnt all about chametz, and today we will learn that Pesach is a very special holiday where we get to eat Matzah! Matzah is very crunchy but tastes yummy especially if we put things on top. Today we are going to learn how to make matzah and have a lot of fun playing around with it!

Welcome to...
MATZAH
Choose 2-3 20-30 minute activities from the options below:
Matzah Holder
Help your toddler make and decorate this matzah box:
You will need:
A piece of cardboard
Paints for finger painting, or anything else you have to use to decorate with
A stapler/ sticky tape
Cut the cardboard into a big square. In each of the corners cut out a square (2 slits resembling 90 degrees), so you are left with flaps around the edges. Give the cardboard to your toddler to decorate. Once they are finished, fold the flaps up and staple/ stick with tape. Courtesy of Eduart4kids.
Matzah Pizza
Make the legendary Matzah Pizza with your little one! It can be as easy as smothering a piece of matzah with tomato sauce and yellow cheese and sticking it in the oven until its ready. If you feel like being adventurous, Jamie Geller has quite a few interesting combos to put for toppings: Take a look here. Time this activity for midday, and boom: Lunch is ready!
