Growing up, I had a hard time sitting through a Passover Seder. It was LONG and not particularly child friendly. I would have loved: My Haggadah: Made It Myself by NYC parents Francine Hermelin Levite and Adam Levite. This fun learning tool will help create meaningful conversation through simple art activities (which can be completed with basic equipment: crayons, scissors, glue stick) and thought provoking questions which will engage your child. Four through ten year olds will love coloring the pictures of the wise, wicked, simple and silent “children”, making an envelope to hide afikomen from you, and following directions to hide their private wishes for the next year.
Stimulating questions may be simple: “If you had to pack in a hurry what would you take?” Or more complex: “We’re free, but a lot of people are in trouble. Who or what would you like to help?”
The 15 steps of the Seder are included. The book can be used as a supplement or in place of any Passover Haggadah.
Even if you feel your child learned about Passover at school, this Haggadah will enhance their Passover experience and help you get to know your child better.
