Looking for, and finding, the afikoman is the highlight of the Passover seder for many kids (if you’re looking for ideas of where to hide the afikoman, by the way, we have quite a few).
But every family has different traditions around afikoman gifts. In many houses, the reward for finding the afikoman is a dollar. In others, afikoman gifts are a must — and not just for the lucky kid who found the hidden piece of matzah, but also for the rest of the kids attending the Passover seder.
If you’re scratching your head about what to get for the kids attending your seder, here are some great affordable options that will keep kids occupied until the end of the meal. Some of these may even entertain them throughout the entire holiday. Every option in this shopping list is $10 or under:
Lego:
Just make sure they don’t drop any pieces on the floor!
Games:
Adults will want to play these, too.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza (sorry for the pizza reminder, but it’s really great)
Sensory play:
To help focus on the haggadah.
Art and crafts:
Get creative!
Paint by number sticker color books
Puzzles:
We love puzzles.
Candy bags:
If the food as the seder isn’t enough?
Socks:
I’m not sure why socks are considered a bad gift; I think everyone at your seder deserves a pair.
