Mini Matzo For Your Mini Me
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Passover is tough on kids. Go-to dinner staples like pizza and mac and cheese are off-limits for an entire week — practically a lifetime for youngsters.
Manischewitz, the company behind the much-maligned concord-grape-based wine, has come to the rescue with the debut of three new Passover products geared towards kids: a s’more matzo kit, a matzo pizza kit and “My Mini Matzos,” eight 3-inch by 3-inch matzos for pint-sized foodies.

The s’mores matzo kit comes with enough ingredients for your kids to create the perfect Passover s’more with friends: four servings of mini matzos, chocolate and marshmallows. The matzo pizza kit itself is shaped like a slice of pizza, and contains 8 triangular pizza-slice-shaped matzos inside (to make a full pie) and 8 packets of pizza sauce. Although it doesn’t come with cheese and other toppings, kids are encouraged to find and put on their favorites. To underline its kid-friendliness, the package of “My Mini Matzos” doubles as a coloring book.
