Ten Plagues Finger Puppets Craft for Kids For Passover Story Fun

If you're looking for a creative way to teach children about the Passover story, these Ten Plagues finger puppets are a fun and simple craft to try. Kids can make their own paper puppets and then use them to act out scenes from the Exodus story. Finger puppets are great because they turn storytelling into play. Once the puppets are finished, children can perform a mini puppet show or retell the Passover story in their own way.

Why Finger Puppets Are Great for Passover

Hands-on activities help children connect with stories. Making Passover finger puppets allows kids to interact with the story instead of just listening to it.

This craft is also easy to set up and works well for different ages. Younger children can draw simple pictures, while older kids can add more detailed designs.

To make Ten Plagues finger puppets, you will need:

• Coloured paper or cardstock

• Markers, crayons, or coloured pencils

• Scissors

• Glue or tape

Optional decorations include googly eyes, stickers, or glitter.

How to Make Ten Plagues Finger Puppets

Step 1: Cut strips of paper about 2 cm wide and long enough to wrap around a finger.

Step 2: Glue or tape the ends together to create a small paper ring that fits on a finger.

Step 3: Draw or cut out pictures representing the plagues, such as:

• A frog for the plague of frogs

• A cow for the livestock plague

• A cloud for hail

• A bug or locust

• A red wave for the Nile turning to blood

Step 4: Glue each picture onto a paper ring.

Step 5: Decorate the puppets with colours, stickers, or glitter.

Once finished, children can slide the puppets onto their fingers and begin telling the Passover story.

Ways to Use the Puppets

These Passover puppets for kids can be used in several ways:

• Act out the story of Moses and the Ten Plagues

• Put on a mini puppet show before the Seder

• Use them for classroom storytelling

You can also turn the craft into a group activity by having each child make a different plague puppet.

The Ten Plagues are one of the most memorable parts of the Passover story for children. Making puppets helps kids visualise the events while being creative at the same time.

This easy Passover craft combines storytelling, creativity, and play, making it a great activity for families or classrooms.
