We put in all this treasure, found only the best.

Achashveirosh had a lot of possessions- rechush,

He ruled from Hodu all the way until Kush.

So here for you is a kush- chocolate cake,

And a Hodu (Turkey) sandwich for you to take.

Wishing you happiness, and lots of good health,

Happy Purim to you and enjoy all your wealth.

What you will need:

Chocolate cake, Turkey Sandwich

      Shushan Habira:

127 lands Achashveirosh did own,

In Shushan Habira he sat on his throne.

Bira- the beer, and Shushan that’s the rose,

This is the theme that for this year we chose.

Enjoy your great Purim, time quickly passes,

And don’t forget; look at life through rose colored glasses!

Beer, Chocolate rose, rose shaped muffin, rose colored glasses

   Dagim:

Did you notice we have a theme?

Mazal of Adar is Dagim.

We even added extra spice,

We thought it would look very nice.

Munch on crackers with tuna fish,

And make sure to tovel the pretty dish.

We hope you like the things we sent,

We’re fishing for a compliment

What you will need:

Fish dish, fish spice, fish crackers, jelly fish, water.

  Vayimalei Haman Cheima:

Everyone bowed down to Haman except Mordechai,

He simply refused, he did not even try.

Vayimalei Haman cheima, he was angry what should he do?

Cheima also means butter, we prepared some with a roll for you.

Peanut butter, butternut squash and a butterfly you can see,

A Happy Purim to you and your whole family!

What you will need:

Peanut butter, butter, butternut squash muffins, butterfly...

Naddeda Shnat Hamelech:

The King couldn’t sleep, he was twisting all night,

Something he felt was just not quite right,

He asked his servants to bring his memory book,

He opened it up to have a good look.

He found out a story that he did not know why,

He never rewarded this man Mordechai.

Maybe he should have tried to count sheep,

And drink milk and cookies to fall back asleep.

What you will need:

milk, cookies, notebook.

Migadol vead Katan:

Achashveirosh made a party and invited everyone,

It tells us in the megilla- migadol vead katan.

BIG COOKIE, little cookie and the same with the wine,

BIG CHOCOLATE, little chocolate we think it’s divine.

So here is a little something it was not a BIG deal,

Have a wonderful Purim and enjoy your Purim meal!

What you will need:

big chocolate, little chocolate, big petit bars, little petit bars, big wine, little wine.

Enjoy this opposite theme, and the inside out,

Because having fun on Purim is what it is all about.

 What you will need:

Bag to turn inside out, anything you want that you could put upside down or backwards.

Enjoy!

Have a great week!
