Purim Dolls

Now your children can put on their very own Purim Schpiel using these cute (and very easy to make) Purim dolls.

 

Materials:

Doll pins (large wooden clothes pins without the hinge. I found these at Michael's)

felt     (4 colors--I used blue, white, purple and black)

pipe cleaners (regular, plus I found some with big loops I used for Esther's hair)

markers

aluminum foil

glue  (craft glue or glue gun)



Directions:  
Step 1:
Using markers, draw faces on doll pins.                            
   
 
Step 2:
Make circle of glue on doll's torso.  Wrap white pipe cleaner over glue (leaving ends sticking out) to create arms.
   

Step 3:

Cut 6" x 1 1/2" pice of felt.  Fold in half.  Cut small notch in middle of fold to create a hole for the head.  Slide doll head into hole.  This is the doll's robe.

   
   

Step 4:

Wrap pipe cleaner around doll waist

to secure robe.   Add accessories, hair for Esther, crowns for Ahashverosh and Esther, hat for Haman, yarmulke for Mordechai.

 
   
 

 

 
Happy Purim!
