What you need:
- Felt or fabric
- Needle and thread (or sewing machine)
- Glitter glue or fabric paint
What you do:
- Sew two pieces of felt or fabric on three sides, leaving the fourth open.
- Turn inside out so the seams are on the inside of the pocket.
- Use glitter glue or fabric paint to write "Matzah" or "Matzo" in English and/or Hebrew.
- Use the bag to hide the middle matzo (see below for explanation).
Children love the Passover tradition of "Hide the Matzo." In a traditional Seder (Passover meal), three whole matzo are places on the Passover table and covered with a cloth napkin. Before the Seder begins, the middle matzo is broken in half. The smaller piece is placed back on the plate and the larger one, called the Afrikoman, is wrapped and hidden. The Seder cannot conclude until a child finds the matzo and gives it to the person leading the Seder.
