8 Easy Passover Kids Crafts to Make

Crafts

Creative Ways to Celebrate Pesach

Passover this year starts at sundown on Friday, April 22 and runs for eight days through May 2, 2016. Like most Jewish holidays, the Festival of Unleavened Bread as it is also known, is centered around the kids. So why not challenge them with some fun DIY crafts, recipes and activities as you learn together about Passover and the Story of the great exodus out of Egypt?

Depending on the age and skill of your child, he or she may be able to do these alone, while others will require adult supervision. Of course, by all means, if you have time to take a break from your pre-holiday spring cleaning marathon, you won't regret enjoying making a craft or two with your children while bonding.

First up is the adorable Jumping Origami Frogs and Lilly Pads craft pictured at the top of this post which doubles as a fun game and is super easy to make. All your child needs is origami colored paper to fold the paper frogs, some paper cupcake liners and washable kids magic markers to number the cupcake liner lilly pads.

Isn't this Tuna Can Seder Plate craft by the Biblebelt Balabusta original? This art project starts with six empty, clean tuna fish cans. Help your child cover each can by either spray painting or attaching contact paper. Then get the glue gun out to attach the cans in a ring and decorate with your choice of faux jewels or other tiny tchotchkes lying around your house. Directions

Last, but not least, consider printing out any or all of the 14 free Passover downloadable coloring pages provided by Aish HaTorah. Each page alone is fun for kids and if you print out all the pages, your child can create his own Hagaddah to use for your Seder this year. Download & Print

Mother's Day Premiere Jennifer Aniston Kate Hudson Julia Roberts Jason Sudeikis Star

Movies

#MothersDayMovie

The stars were shining brightly in Hollywood last night, lighting up the iconic Chinese Theater even more magnificently than usual. Except for big awards shows like the Oscars and the Grammys, it's not often that so many talented A-list celebrities are walking the red carpet, sharing the limelight together. 

MommyBlogExpert.com

But that's exactly what I experienced at the Mother's Day movie premiere. In this case it was Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Shay Mitchell, Britt Robertson, Hector Elizondo, Jack Whitehall, Ella Anderson, Aasif Mandvi, Robert Pine, Director Garry Marshall, and the list of notables goes on.

How thrilling it was to be invited to the Wednesday evening premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre, previously known as the iconic Grauman's Chinese Theatre, on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California to screen this major motion picture to be released April 29th. Right next door to the Dolby Theater (formerly Kodak Theater) at Hollywood and Highland where the Academy Awards just took place in February.

Aniston looked stunning in my personal favorite outfit of the night: the Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2016 tuxedo romper she was wearing, accented by a black clutch, stilettos and simple gold jewelry. Roberts, still looking as beautiful as she did in her breakout picture Pretty Woman (also directed by Garry Marshall) was elegantly casual in flat front white shorts, tailored white jacket and black shirt with white buttons to go along with her black manicure and matching stiletto heels. Hard to believe these two extremely fit looking women are both approaching 50: Aniston is 47 and Roberts will be 49 years old in October and is the mother of three kids.

MommyBlogExpert.com

In addition to Ella Anderson, among the youth cast members on hand were Owen Vaccaro, Caleb Brown, Brandon Spink, Grayson Russell, Ayden Bivek, Jessi Case and others. It was also cool seeing Bob Saget and John Stamos, who played father and son in the TV show Full House, walking the carpet together. 

MommyBlogExpert.com

However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I was a bit disappointed that part of the star-studded cast was noticeably absent: Kate Hudson, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Garner and a few others. As busy professionals, I'm assuming they all had scheduling conflicts, but you could definitely sense their presence nevertheless.

Then watch for a separate post soon with a complete review of the movie Mother's Day as well as more about the special pre-premiere event (also at the Chinese Theater) which I attended earlier in the day, thanks to The Moms including a fun photo shoot featuring Fujifilm Instastax camera products. After a morning screening of the movie, our small group of mom bloggers was treated to an intimate Q&A conversation with Director Garry Marshall and actress Britt Robertson. More on all that soon!
