Frog, here, frogs there! Cute froggie items to buy for your Seder (on Amazon), priced from $3 to $11

"Frogs here, frogs there, frogs were jumping everywhere!" What is a Seder for kids without at least a few froggie elements?

Amazon has got this metal frog-shaped R&M cookie cutter for $4.99 with free Prime shipping.

As I'm sure you already know, cookie cutters go well beyond cutting cookie dough, and can be used to cut melon, fruit, vegetables, etc. For years, I've been using my Pesach froggie cookie cutter to cut out frog shapes in green peppers, which then go in my Seder-night salad. Cutting frog shapes in healthy foods like veggies or even cold cuts is also a great way to get your kids to eat something good for them and turn it into something fun. When I used to make kosher la Pesach "noodles" from scratch, I would cut out frog shapes and then float them in my chicken soup and my friends' kids would LOVE it.

Hat tip to Daily Cheapskate reader Chaia B. for telling me about this supercute froggie sink drain on Amazon for $3.99 (Amazon Add-On item). Imagine your kids' faces when they go to wash their hands for Urchatz or Rachatz and see this little guy waiting for them in the sink!

Amazon has got these two CybbrTrayd Frog Molds, great for making chocolate frogs, frog jello or froggie ice cubes, which are a real hit with the kiddies (and most adults) at the Passover Seder. There are two different ones, the larger frog one for $6.95 with free Prime shipping and the smaller frog one for $8.49 with free Prime shipping.

Want to make chocolate froggie lollipops? I checked with the OU and any paper lollipop sticks are fine for Pesach, like this 150-count bag of Wilton 4" lollipop sticks for $3.45 (Amazon Add-On item).
