6. Begin your homemade matzoh bread (flat bread): Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix 3 cups flour with 1 ½ cups water in a mixing bowl (best done by children with their hands). Add flour if needed so the dough won’t be too sticky. Divide into 8 sections and roll to about 1/8 inch thick. Place on greased baking sheets. Poke with forks. Bake 10-12 minutes. Serve with honey.
7. 
Make the “flies of the plague” while your dough bakes: Take a coloring picture of the Egyptians. Then with fingers that have been pressed on a black stamp pad, put lots of fingerprint “flies” all over the picture. Draw in eyes, legs, and wings to complete the flies.
8. Close with prayer.
