| Megillah covers: However and whatever you make on your megillah, roll it up and use a papertowel roll for a cover. decorate it with the children and place anything on one side to close up the hole. With a bit of imagination they can look very pretty! |
| THE MEGILLAH |
| THE BASKET |
| Version Three: this is a great one for younger children. take a piece of oaktag fold in half and cut out a half of circle so that the end is attached. Have the children color it and stick on food stickers (fruits and vegetables) in the inside of the basket. Create a handle by having the children string beads onto pipecleaners. Attach to the basket. You can even put inside one or two real hamantashan that the children baked. There you have a complete basket made just by them. |

| Make a megillah by using pictures of the main charachters, at different scenes in the story with their faces empty for the children to fill in. i.e. a picture with achashveroush holding a crown to put on esthers head. Children either draw the whole body or just the head (if you�ve left the rest of the body there ) |
| Do a unit on sounds, experiment with glass cups filled with differentr amounts of water inside to play a song Play the "MAYIM" song by CLICKING on the numbered GLASSES. Follow the numbers below and then make up your own songs! Fill #1 totally full, then move progressively less in each one, as the numbers climb higher, the cups get more empty. WHAT YOU NEED: � eight same-size glasses (ask a grown up) � water � a metal spoon INSTRUCTIONS 1. Number the glasses from one through eight. 2. Fill each glass with the amount of water shown in the picture. 3. Play the "Mayim" song on your Mayim Piano. The numbers tell which glasses to tap. If a note doesn't sound just right, try adding or taking awaY a little water. |

| Two easy ideas for making graggers with young children are: 1. Let the children decorate the bottom of a paper plate. Fold the plate in half, add beans and staple closed. 2. Collect pringles containers from parents. Cover the container with construction paper and let children decorate (according to age level). Put in small bells, or beans, and "whala" you have a gragger. |
| My daughter came home last year from nursery with a cute Purim idea. THey made a "megilla" of pictures of the Purim story which was taped to a pushka and wound around it. THe teacher gave them all a few pennies to put into the pushka and so it became a noise maker. |
