Purim is a happy and a festive holiday. I wanted to share another festive looking Purim basket with you.
We use hard paper (oak tag) for this basket. This paper is sturdy enough so the children can carry it all around the schul, the school and the neighborhood without spilling any treat along the way. For the two-year-old classes, we decorate them with dot paint, water paint, or tempera paint. Or other times, before folding the paper into hamantashen, we cut tissue papers into little squares, and lay them on the oak tag and spray water on them. This way the colors on the tissue paper bleed through. When it is dry, we remove the tissue papers and voila, the beautiful tye-dye design created on the basket.
After we fold the paper into hamantashen, we add the pipe cleaner to make a handle to carry the basket.
The kids choose any color for a tissue paper to put in their basket. When the basket is ready they place the treat in the basket.
This basket is ready to go!
HAPPY PURIM!
