Passover Seder Plate
Bring the symbolism and traditions of Passover to life with this decorative Model Magic® Seder plate. Handmade ceremonial crafts teach children about their own or other families' celebrations.
1. A traditional Seder plate contains five symbolic foods: a bitter herb such as horseradish; a roasted shankbone; a roasted egg; a fresh spring vegetable such as a lettuce or parsley; and charoses (an apple, nut, and raisin salad). To make a decorative Seder plate, flatten white Crayola Model Magic into a circle.
2. In the middle of the plate carve the word Pesach in English or Hebrew by pressing a craft stick into the Model Magic.
3. Press 5 circles around the plate's edge using a recycled round lid.
4. Make the traditional Passover foods and symbols using different colors of Model Magic or white Model Magic mixed with color from Crayola Washable Markers, and Crayola Glitter Glue. For example, to make matzo (the unleavened bread that symbolizes the quick exit of Jews from slavery in Egypt 3,000 years ago) shape a flat square of modeling compound. Poke holes into the top with a craft stick and rub on glitter glue for a speckled surface.
5. Display the plate in a place where your whole family can enjoy your creativity for the holiday.

Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years.

Crayola Modeling Materials including Crayola Model Magic®, and Model Magic Fusion™, Crayola Air-Dry Clay, and Crayola Dough—
- Keep away from open flames. Do not use to make candleholders, hot plates, trivets, or other similar objects that will be used or placed near fire and other heat sources.
- Do not put in an oven, microwave, or kiln.
- Do not make into vessels/containers that will hold unpackaged food.
- The use of modeling material to make items that look like food is discouraged for children younger than age 5 to avoid their confusion with real food.
