In my family there is only one young kid at the moment. She's about 4 and is just now old enough to start being able to understand and participate in the seder. She read the 4 questions for the first time this year, it was great. She even had 4 question finger puppets (one side, a regular chair, the other side, a recliner. One side a happy little herb, the other a frowning bitter herb. Etc.). But the best part was when we got to the plagues...and mom pulls out her plague toys! I didn't get a good look at all of them, but I saw a cow lying dead on the table, a small vile of red liquid, a snake, a frog. We asked, "What the heck do you do for 'slaying of the first born'?". The answer? A pacifier.
I'm not sure if I was horrified or incredibly amused.
