Fun and Easy Purim Costumes
One year, my son wanted to be an elephant for Purim. He’s not the kind of kid that can wear a store-bought costume all day. So, I dressed him in his usual grey hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants and added some extras of my own. I cut elephant ears out of grey felt and pinned them to his hood (he actually kept the hood on!), and made a tail out of the same grey felt material to pin onto the waistline of his sweatpants. We found a trunk mask at a local party store, and we had ourselves a very cute costume!
Colorful Bell Gragger
This gragger (noisemaker) has turned into something of a family favorite. The noise isn’t as loud and intense as a standard gragger. The bells make it sound like a cross between a baby’s rattle and a sleigh ride.
Creative Idea for Mishloach Manot
Traditionally, Mishloachai Manot (the sending of food) are two food items (from different food groups) sent to at least two friends. Over the years, Mishochai Manot have developed into sometimes elaborate food packages to many friends and family in your community.
