Exploring Passover
Activities for Your Family
By Kymberly Pratt
This bag is used to slip your piece of matzah bread into.
You'll need:
- Any color felt
- White tacky glue
- Markers
- Embellishments such as glitter, stickers, jewelry stones, etc.
Cut out two square pieces of felt that are exactly 4 inches by 4 inches. After you cut them out, decorate one side of each piece. Do not decorate both sides of each because you will be gluing the two together. Use ribbon, markers or glitter. Be sure to set them aside and allow them to dry before gluing them together.
After each of the embellishments are glued on and dry, lay one piece on top of the other. Make sure the decorated sides are on the outside. Glue three of the sides together, leaving the top open in order to slip your bread into it.
Tip: It would be nice to make one for each member of the family and personalize them. Also, older children could sew their bags together using a simple stitch and a large needle and thread.
You'll need:
- 5 cups flour
- 1 pint whipping cream
- 1 2/3 sticks butter
Mix all the ingredients together. Knead until they are mixed well. Press the dough onto a large cookie sheet or large baking pan. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes or until golden.
Note: Do not allow the bread to rise and bake it immediately. The Jewish people left Egypt in such a hurry that their bread did not have time to rise. The heat of the desert baked the bread into flat matzah bread.
