Cute pesach project ideas for a preschool age child? Something a little cuter/involved than just scribbling on a pillow case.

I printed out a children’s Haggadah from between carpools.com.
They had some very cute pesach download haggadahs.
Every day we do 2 sheets:
Kadesh, I found purple stickers to add on to the grape juice,
Urchatz I cut a shmatte and they glued on.
Carpas put some salt on the glue....

How involved do you want.

We sewed afikomen bags, made pillow cases for leaning, made Pesach trivets out of 1/2 tiles and tiny wooden cutting boards, serving bowls (lucite that you fill-bought at Amazing Savings 10 years ago).
You can also make napkin rings for the Seder, posters for the walls, a welcome mat for Eliyahu.

Now I am sad my kids are no longer small and won't do projects with me.☹️

Edited-sorry, I missed the preschool part.
You can still make many of these things, they just won't look professional at all.
Consider afikomen bag-foam sheet, fold in half, punch holes with a hole puncher and let them thread a lace to sew the bag.
Trivit would work the same- it would just be gluier and maybe get 1-2 inch tiles instead of 1/2 inch.
Lucite bowl still works, just fill it with something chunky so they don't get bored and it moves faster.

You get the idea

I'm making a very simple seder plate with my 3 year old.

Supplies: 2 clear plastic plates, glue, tissue paper cut into squares, circles of paper that say/have pix of the seder plate stuff (zroah, beitza, etc...), crayons

Step 1- glue tissue paper all over 1 plate. Let dry.
Step 2- color the circles of seder plate stuff.
Step 3- glue circles on top of tissue paper plate in correct places
Step 4- apply glue around the rim on top of tissue paper plate
Step 5- put plate #2 on top to cover!

Thanks!
Love these ideas.
So I've decided on making napkin rings, matzah cover, afikoman bag, and a hagada with him (we have a Seder plate and eliyahu cup he made last year). Plan to cut up an old table cloth for the matzah cover and afikoman bag and sew with my non-existent sewing skills and let him decorate.
We always have pesach with my parents and this is our first year doing it at home. We weren't planning on this so we don't have any of the typical sedar table items so I figured I'll let him have fun with it.
I do not care at all that they won't look professional- he's gonna be super excited to have things he made at the table and that's what's important!
Gonna be a busy week of crafting!

To all mommies making Seder projects
Make sure the area you are doing the project is clean from chametz

A mommy helper apron with cleaning supplies

A doorknob holder or stop sign 'do not enter with chometz, this room is ready for pesach'.
