Let’s face it—the Passover story can get a little long for our kids. While it’s an incredible story, you can teach it to your kids in a more up-beat way. Teach your kids about the story and traditions through modern crafts that emphasize family togetherness.
You will revitalize your Pesach family traditions with crafts, activities, and contests that will have your children eager to lead the Seder instead of snoozing after they’ve had their required four cups of grape juice.

Super Hero Squad is a very popular TV show on the Cartoon Network that showcases many of the favorite super hero characters that kids love: Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Falcon, Silver Surfer, Thor, and more. This cast of characters work together to defeat the villains, which also include some likely characters: Abomination, Dormammu, Dr. Doom, Juggernaut, Loki, Mole Man, Modok, and Enchantress. These characters are slightly stumpy looking, but embody the characters and kids love their escapades. If your child loves many of these Super Heroes and can’t decide on just one for a party theme, a Super Hero Squad party theme may just serve as the perfect super theme.
For your party invitation: send the kids an Infinity Sword Invitation. Given that the battle between Dr. Doom and Iron Man shatters the sword, using gray heavy card stock, cut out into sword shapes and write your party details on the swords. Then, cut the sword up and place into the envelope with instructions to your Super Hero Squad guests to put the sword together to find out the party details. Also, request that the kids bring their Infinity Sword with them to the party.

If you are looking to have kids bead flip flops, here is a great resource to check out for how to bead the flip flops: Jo-Anne’s has a how-to for beaded flip flops. Just make sure that if the kids are going to do this activity they are old enough to handle a needle (most likely pre-teens and teens), and that the activity is well-supervised.
If they are younger, you may want to make them yourself and hand them out as a party favor at the party, or buy the cheapie ones with the wider plastic straps and have them use fabric glue (or hot glue if there are enough adults to supervise) to attach rhinestones and plastic gems onto the straps to fake the beading.
