In Kitah Bet, we have been singing songs about Matzah, rolling matzah out of play-doh and tasting real Matah at snack.
Actually baking our own Matzah at the visiting Matzah bakery made the whole experience truly experiential. We heard the story of Pesach from "King Paroh" and then mixed our own dough. Reyn poured the flour into a bowl, Freeda added the water. The dough was then mixed as quickly as possible. Kosher for Pesach matzah needs to be made from start to finish within 18 minutes. This ensure it does not begin to rise and become leavened. The children received a piece to dough to roll, poke and then it was baked.
What an exciting hands on experience.
