On seder night we dedicate everything to our kids. The whole purpose of telling the story of the exodus is so that the children will ask questions. However, seders can be boring affairs, especially for small children who don’t have a long attention spans to begin with. At our seder, we’ve begun to incorporate fun items and practices to keep our kids engaged.
Whether you are staying home or going away for the holidays, here are a few ideas to keep your seder a family friendly affair.
