Plagues Finger Puppets

Rite Lite’s “Ten Plagues Passover Finger Puppets”

Rite Lite makes the puppets and distributes it on its website. RiteLite.com, I found out, is “your ultimate online source for wholesale Judaica”). Rite Lite makes a bunch of ten plagues toys and novelties including


Another option is to make your own puppets. Brenda Ponnay, author of the Secret Agent Josephine blog, has some finger puppets you can download and print for free (available here).

After writing about these 10 plagues products last year, I received responses from families whose children play with the toys. Parents and grandparents loved the puppets and other toys. They’re accurate to the Passover story. Kids like the mix of cute & gross. Best of all: it gives the children something to do while the grown-ups are putting the final touches on the meal.
