At sunset on April 18 Jewish families everywhere will sit down to retell the long and complicated story of Passover. Children play a vital role in this process, asking important questions and finding a hidden matzoh. There aren't a ton of Passover toys on the market, but this bowling set stands out for being both witty and quite weird.
Each pin of the handpainted wooden bowling set represents one of the ten plagues of Egypt from the book of Exodus: blood, frogs, lice, gnats, livestock disease, boils, thunder, locusts, darkness and the death of the first born. The set is simultaneously cute and grim, but gets bonus points for year-round functionality. $25 for a set of ten pins and two bowling balls in a mesh bag at jewishsource.com.

ok, that's an interesting way to depict gnats and locusts... I'm confused...
Love it! I plan on ordering a set, but will hide the bowling balls during dinner and use the pins as dolls for the telling of the story of the plagues. Now all I need is a way to get the kids to stop fighting about who gets to read about which one of the 4 sons...
Why are all the plagues smiling? Pretty sure it wasn't a happy time for God or Egypt.
Wow, it is a grim story, but these are cute! see one little guy looks rather sad.

Those are great! They may be an even bigger hit than the 10 plagues masks my sister brought to Passover a few years ago. Or at least something fun to do while wearing a plague mask.
