Printables for Passover

March 30, 2024 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

I already shared some Seder plate activities for Passover, but there are a lot more options out there if you are looking for Passover printables and activities for kids to enjoy.

Moms and Crafter is always a great source for Jewish activities, and it’s no different when it comes to Passover. In her Etsy shop she has Passover puppets (including Moses, Ahron, Miriam and Pharaoh), which kids can color and turn into puppets for telling the Passover story. She also has a printable Old Maid style/memory game with Passover items such as the plagues, Elijah’s cup and salt water. The chametz card serves as the old maid.

Tori Avey has free printable finger puppets designed by Brenda Ponnay and which represent the 10 plagues, which are an important part of the Passover story.

Planerium has a set of free printable coloring pages and worksheets including word searches and coloring pages showing the slaves in Egypt, Pharaoh and other parts of the story. Donuts and Devos also has free plagues of Egypt coloring pages you can download for coloring while talking about the plagues or listening to her podcast on the subject.

BAE Media on Etsy also has a printable coloring book for Passover. This collection has 20 designs to print and color including a Seder plate, matzah, Moses, each plate symbol and other important images for the holiday.

And if you’d like a full activity book to keep kids entertained and learning all throughout the Passover events, check out this Passover activity book from Kingsley Publishing. It includes 50 pages of activities, such as coloring pages, word searches, Elijah’s cup to decorate and more. These pages will help kids learn the elements of the Passover story while keeping them engaged (and hopefully quiet when they need to be!).

If you missed it before, in addition to the Seder plate crafts mentioned above, I also reviewed a couple of Passover books you might want to check out.

Sun Activities for Kids

With summer coming soon in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a fun time to incorporate activities and crafts with a sunny theme. Take some time to learn about the sun (this post from National Geographic Kids is a good one) and then do some sun activities.

Sun prints are a classic summer activity, and there are lots of ways to do them, from placing objects on construction paper (like in this craft from MomBrite) or by using sun print paper (aka cyanotype paper).

Practice threading, counting, color sorting and other skills with this easy sun threading activity from Taming Little Monsters.

Lessons 4 Little Ones has a great blog post full of ideas for science experiments using the sun, such as melting crayons, looking at shadows, making a sun dial and trying a solar oven. Printables to go with the lessons are available for purchase or you can just talk through the students’ hypotheses about what will happen and draw or otherwise record the results.

This updraft tower from Almost Unschoolers is a cool way to illustrate that the heat of the sun causes an updraft, which makes the pinwheel spin. This is a good one to do inside near a sunny window so you don’t have wind spinning the pinwheel instead.

You’ll want to get out in the sun to try this experiment form Life with Moore Babies to see what kinds of things the sun can melt. Using different kinds of sweets you can see how the sun melts things by itself and how you can concentrate the power of the sun with a magnifying glass.

Playing with shadows is fun for kids of all ages, and you can track a shadow through the day with this experiment from Science Sparks. If you’re working with multiple kids they can each choose an object to shadow (ha!) and at the end of the day you can see how different their shadows looked.

And of course you’ll want to make a sun themed suncatcher craft, right? This one from Fox Farm Home uses all the pretty flowers you collect on your nature walk and puts them in a sun-shaped frame.
