Froggie items for your Seder, each under $10 on Amazon

"Frogs here, frogs there, frogs were jumping everywhere!"  What is a Pesach Seder for kids (and some adults!) without at least a few froggie elements?

These American Atelier Froggie Salt & Pepper Shakers are only $6.99 with free Prime shipping. 

Amazon has got this metal frog-shaped R&M cookie cutter for $4.78 with free 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 with free Prime shipping.  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 $9.02 with free Prime shipping and the smaller frog one for $6.68 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 100-count bag of Wilton 6" lollipop sticks for $3.99 with free Prime shipping.

No Seder table is complete without at least 12 dozen plastic frogs jumping around, am I right?  Amazon has this bag of 144 plastic jumping frogs for $9.97  with free Prime shipping.

Amazon has got this silicone frog bib for $6.95 with free Prime shipping. So much froggieness.

Finally, don't forget this Froggie Children's silverware (6 pieces) for $9.99 with free Prime shipping.  Special Seder Silverware for your little ones.

Costco Tilapia now approved for Passover 2020 by the OU!

New for 2020: not only does the OU permit Costco Kirkland Frozen Atlantic Salmon (as it has done for the last 10+ years), but this year, the Costco Kirkland Frozen Tilapia with just the OU on it is kosher for Passover without any special Passover certification. See page 66 in the OU Passover Guide, now downloadable on the OU site.

Costco does not get its tilapia from China. Costco brand (Kirkland Signature) farm-raised tilapia loins  are sourced from Regal Springs, Indonesia or Honduras-produced tilapia.
