I love the idea of this kit for Passover or teaching a lesson on the Ten Plagues. There are two stress ball drops of blood, two squeaky toy frogs, two fine combs to represent lice and gnats, the plague of flies is missing, two cartoonish cow keychains to represent diseased livestock, two masks to represent the plague of boils, two silicone molds that can be used to make round ice to represent hail, two grasshoppers to represent the plague of locusts, two black blindfolds that fit and do keep out the light to represent the plague of darkness, and two paintbrushes to represent the Israelites painting their door frames to protect against the death of the firstborn. Oddly included are two tigers, which according to the webpage, represent the plague of wild beasts, but that's not a plague so that's wrong. And like I said, the plague of flies is missing. I really like the concept of this product. It would be so handy to be able to purchase a kit like this, instead of trying to collect items individually, but this isn't quite right. The pieces are not consisent - the cartoonish cow keychains are just awkward. And there is no story guide so don't purchase this as a help to guide you. You need to be well versed in this event or have other reliable sources. Some pieces - the locust, masks, blindfolds, ice molds, blood drop stress balls, I really like, and the frogs are decent. But the missing plague of flies, random tigers, and cartoonish cows are a big blunder. Purchase only if well-informed from other sources.

When my cousins started having children, my aunt and uncle made some changes to the traditional Passover seder by adding a sort of passion play with props to sustain their attention and help teach the Passover story. I thought I'd had too much wine when I saw rubber frogs and cockroaches thrown across the room, and I probably had, but it was really happening. The younger generation would not have to endure what was to me as a child a tedious night of abstract concepts. This set is more thorough than frogs and insects, although some of the contents could be improved. The livestock looks very much alive and double as key chains—someone might lose an eye if the metal on a drunkenly lobbed plush cow hit them. The tigers are plastic—the set might look less randomly compiled if they were also plush. The death of the firstborn son is represented by paintbrushes, which doesn't really make sense but is relevant to Passover and would illustrate (no pun intended) the marking of doorways with blood. The squishy blood rain droplets are fun (and tossable). The hail is in the form of two red balls you have to assemble—fake ice would have been easy enough to include. But all in all it's an amusing if inconsistent collection. There are two of everything, and it's OK that the frogs are bigger than the tigers. They can also be used as bath toys. Many of the components can be used for other things (e.g. the combs are real). I don't know how many of these kits are on the market, and my aunt and uncle would have bought it in a minute had it existed when their grandchildren were younger. Is it worth $19.99? For uniqueness and convenience, probably. For inconsistency of the quality and clash of materials of the items, maybe not. I ordered it as a gag gift that my family will appreciate for nostalgic reasons. The cousins I mentioned are now all adults.
