We seemed to have a set of standard Passover crafts every year when I was younger, from assembling a small box of items for b'dikat chametz (search for leavened foods), to making a matzah cover or afikomen bag, to Elijah's cup. However, I'm finding many more ideas lately. I made a lovely Miriam's cup at a paint-your-own-pottery facility a few years ago. It is in shades of blue, as the cup is filled with water to remind us that through Miriam's virtue, the Jews were granted water in the desert. Many local pottery places also tend to have plates that are just right for matzah, too. (Someday I might embroider or cross-stitch the challah cover that I have in the house, but that's another story. I have the pre-trimmed aida cloth, the pattern, the the floss already prepared.)
I have found a number of sites with great craft ideas:
--Kaboose
--Chadis Crafts
--Holidays on the Net
Some of the ideas are better, easier, or more practical than others, while some appeal to those of us with a closet full of craft supplies. Polymer clay Elijah or Miriam's cups, anyone? At a minimum, there are coloring pages to print out!
