Purim Coloring Pages

Sandra Essary
Shalom! One of the most fun Jewish holidays is Purim. And yet in the story of Esther, there is a serious side. Nevertheless, children have fun twirling their grogger noisemakers, eating lots of hamantashen, putting on costumes - and of course, coloring Purim coloring pages!

A very carefree approach to Purim

The Story of Esther

Ten Purim coloring pages depict the story of Esther in detail, with explanatory words accompanying each coloring page. Esther moves to the palace, meets Hegai, and the king chooses beautiful Esther to become his queen. Trouble and intrigue brew in the palace, and Esther fasts and prays for a good outcome. There are three Purim coloring pages of the main Purim characters of beautiful Esther, Mordechai, and the mean Haman.

Some of the Purim coloring pages include the beautiful Queen Esther, the King, Haman, and a coloring page reminding us of many aspects of Purim.

    Purim is kind of the Jewish version of Halloween (a Catholic-born holiday and therefore not Jewish), but with overtones of history, celebration of victory, and pure fun. One of my Jewish friends told me that all Jewish holidays involve eating and suffering. I had to laugh. It seems a lot, if not all, do.
