At IJP, the children are active participants rather than spectators. Your children did not just “model” for the photographs. They went through the entire process of Pesach preparation
from cleaning through singing “Next Year in Jerusalem.”
The process began after Purim. The children cleaned chametz(crumbs from bread or anything not kosher for Passover) from our class room and put up signs in the dramatic play area indicating that it was a chametz free zone. We discussed the differences between matzah and chametz.
The children began making their haggadah with sweeping up the “chametz” with a mini sweeper in paint. We pressed with grape skins for a purple background, printed lettuce, made paint with sand for the hard labor the Jews went through in Egypt we also painted matzah with bubble wrap, and painted and cut out baby Moses and his water.
