Passover Fun!
So, I'm at the supermarket today, trying to decide what to have for dinner (which turned out to be homestyle tofu from the local Chinese restaurant) and I passed by the Passover display. Now Passover will soon be upon us, so this display was full of matzoh and various other must haves for the holiday.
But, it also had toys! There was a set of four question finger puppets. If you're wondering, one was matzoh guy, one was a chair with a comfy pillow, one was marror person (with four arms. So he was differently abled marror person, I guess) and finally karpas, complete with little bath tub of salt watery goodness. (For the non-Jews reading this, marror is bitter herbs and karpas refers to the dipping of celery into salt water.)
But even better (so much better), a set of ten plague toys to get your little one! There was a a little packet of fake blood, a blindfold to symbolize the plague of darkness, a plastic locust, etc. Sadly, there was no dismembered baby for the final plague. Instead just a little jigsaw puzzle with the words "slaying of the first born". Still, even with that oversight, so much better than a chocolate Easter bunny, don't you think? Jelly beans or a pretend piece of hail? No contest, in my mind.
