Celebrate Passover through interactive artmaking and puppet projects, and learn about the Passover story, which centers freedom, hope, and resilience.

Afikomen Sewing
The hunt for the Afikomen is one of the most exciting parts of the Passover Seder! During the Seder, families break the matzoh in half, hiding one portion, known as the Afikomen, for the children to seek out later for dessert. Sew your own matzoh cover, and add some personal touches with fabric, letters, and maybe even googly eyes.
