It's A Frog-Eat-Frog
World Out There

ow back to those
frogs.
You can include
the little guys with
a centerpiece decoration of the
Ten Plagues. Or, you may be
able to find small enough spec-
imens that you can make a set-
ting for each guest (of course,
that project can be time-con-
suming and costly, so think in
advance how much you want
to spend).
In addition to the frogs, here
are the rest of the Ten Plagues
and some ideas for creating
them on your Seder table:
Blood: Mix red food color-
ing with a syrupy substance
(for a lifelike effect) or with
water (for the more mild-man-
nered).
Vermin: Visit your favorite
toy or discount store and check
out the extensive collection of
rubber critters. Some are small,
but for a really good time try
the larger-than-life variety.
Beasts: Working together,
your family can design won-
derfully strange creatures —
and have a lot of fun doing so.
First, determine how many
people will be helping make
the beast; suppose in this case
it's four. DO NOT discuss in
advance the kind of animal
you'll be making or it will ruin
the surprise. Now, ask the first
person to draw the head, then
fold down top of paper to hide
his drawing, leaving two lines
to show the end of the neck.
The second person can draw
the beast's body, then again
fold down just to the top of the

legs. The third can fashion the
legs, and the last will do the
feet. Finally, unravel your pic-
ture and you are certain to
have quite an unforgettable
sight
Cattle Disease: For less
than $1, you can buy several
pieces of felt at a craft store.
Use one to cut out a cow. Out
of the others, cut unusual
shapes and glue to the cow.
Boils: Have your son or
daughter draw a picture of an
unfortunate figure covered
with boils. Cover the afflictions
with real bandages.
Hail: I arge chunks of rock
salt work perfectly.
Locusts: Use green paint or
a marker on a wooden clothes-
pin, then add eyes (those ones
with moving pupils, available
at craft stores, are just great) at
top or side. Guests will be es-
pecially charmed (if they're a
little strange) when there's an
entire basketful near the food.
Darkness: Ask your child
to use crayons (any except
black) and color a single sheet
of paper from top to bottom.
Next, use a black crayon to
completely cover the design.
Using a ball-point pen, a parent
should write the word "DARK-
NESS" into the black crayon.
The color from underneath
will show up beautifully.
Slaying of the First Born:
Fashion a doorpost from popsi-
cle sticks, cardboard or blocks.
Draw a line of red on the sides
to symbolize the lamb's blood
the Jews used to mark their
homes.
