It’s forbidden to steal or exploit (even) any amount, whether from a Jew or a non-Jew; And if it is an object that is not concerning, it is permitted; such as to take from the package or [taking a splinter] from the fence to brush his teeth with; and even this is prohibited by the Jeruselamite (Talmud), as a quality of fervency.

roasted grains and nuts on Passover eve, so that they will not sleep and also so they will ask the four questions at night. They said about Rabbi Akiva that he would distribute roasted grains and nuts to children on Passover eve, so that they would not sleep and so they would ask. It was taught in a baraita that Rabbi Eliezer says: One grabs the matzot on the nights of Passover. One should eat them very quickly on account of the children, so that, due to the hasty consumption of the meal, they will not sleep and they will inquire into the meaning of this unusual practice.

Next, they take the middle matzah and break it into two pieces. One half is given to one of the participants to guard for the Afikoman, and it is placed under a cloth. The other half is placed between the two whole matzot. Then, the plate containing the matzot is lifted, and they recite Ha Lachma Anya ("This is the bread of affliction") until Mah Nishtanah ("Why is this night different?"). Gloss: The recitation should be done in a language that the women and children understand, or its meaning should be explained to them. Rabbi Yitzchak of London would recite the entire Haggadah in the vernacular so that the women and children could understand. (Kol Bo and Mahariv). Afterward, one should command that the matzot be removed from the table and placed at the end of the table as if the meal has already been eaten, so that the children will notice and ask questions.

סוכה מ״ה א:ג׳
The mishna notes: As its performance during the week, so is its performance on Shabbat; except for the fact that they would gather the branches from Shabbat eve and place them in basins of gold so that they would not dry. Rabbi Yoḥanan ben Beroka says: There was a unique custom on the seventh day. They would bring palm branches to the Temple and place them on the ground at the sides of the altar, and that seventh day of Sukkot was called: The day of the placing of palm branches. Immediately after fulfilling the mitzva of taking the four species on the seventh day of the festival of Sukkot, children remove their lulavim from the binding and eat their etrogim as an expression of extreme joy.
משנה תורה, הלכות חמץ ומצה ז׳:ג׳
He should make changes on this night so that the children will see and will [be motivated to] ask: "Why is this night different from all other nights?" until he replies to them: "This and this occurred; this and this took place."
What changes should be made? He should give them roasted seeds and nuts; the table should be taken away before they eat; matzot should be snatched from each other and the like.
When a person does not have a son, his wife should ask him. If he does not have a wife, [he and a colleague] should ask each other: "Why is this night different?" This applies even if they are all wise. A person who is alone should ask himself: "Why is this night different?"
