Have you made matza recently? (recipe and photos, kids)
My kiddos and I have made matza several times – for parshat Bo and demonstrating for Passover (although we never actually made it for Passover!). This is a great hands-on activity for kids. Knowing the theory and then actually doing it are two different things! We had a fun time making it, but can definitely appreciate buying …
