With Purim right around the bend I wanted something fun for M to do at HOME. Even though he does plenty at school for each chag, I think he feels special when he already knows what the teacher is talking about because we’ve done something together.

We still have our felt Purim play set from two years ago, so this time I made these color-in Purim puppets – something he can get involved in with me, that focuses more on the story of Purim rather than the traditions.

Yes, I know, all these photos show a version of these color-in Purim puppets that were clearly colored by me. M did make a version with lots of gold glitter and black marker, but they disappeared before I had a chance to photograph them for this post! They are featured in our video below, though.

As you can see, I colored these Purim puppets as well. That’s the beauty of them – they are simple enough for kids, but are a fun challenge for grown-ups as well. I used Prismacolor Premier brush-end double tipped markers, including the portrait pack.

Included in this free printable bundle of color-in Purim puppets is a 2-page PDF file with the following characters. I’ll include the description for the benefit of those of you that may not be familiar – in order of the photo below, from left to right:

  • Queen Vashti: The queen who worked her Jewish slave maids. She was killed by her husband for not obeying his abusive requests.
  • Haman: The primary villain of the story, with his infamous triangle shaped hat. He twisted events and facts so that the king agreed to kill out all the Jews.
  • Queen Esther: The hero of every little Jewish girl, Esther did not want to be queen but she was chosen to replace Vashti. She risked her life for her people and used her influence to save them.
  • Mordechai: The leader of the Jewish people at the time, a righteous man, who was also Esther’s uncle and guardian.
  • King Achashveirosh (Ahasuerus) – The foolish king of Persia at the time, who played along with Haman’s game, but was also willing to spare the Jews when he felt that Haman was trying to grab his crown – and when he found out that Esther is Jewish.

The story of Purim is about a strong female figure, in a period where the law of the land was that if a wife does not obey her husband she is worthy of death. She is a true role model for our daughters, a quiet yet heroic personality, who did not WANT to be queen, but used it to the advantage of her people.

It’s easy! Watch the video below or follow the step-by-step right after it.

  1. Color in your puppets
  2. Cut them out back to back with a piece of card stock, so you have a stiff paper the same shape as your puppet.
  3. Glue a craft stick 1″ into the bottom of your puppet
  4. Glue the puppet and the cardstock together so that they sandwich the craft stick.
  5. Dry and have fun!

You don’t have to sandwich it with card stock, it’s just a wee bit floppy that way. If you’re doing it with younger children, skip this step to simplify the process. If you really plan to put on a fun show for the kids, definitely back it with card stock.
