As a kid, Purim was my favorite holiday. We got to wear costumes, we received parcels of sweets, and for one day, school turned into a carnival with music and games.

Now Purim is on it’s way, and I feel the same excitement as I did back in the days. This year I created something really special for the holiday. It’s a printable coloring book for Purim, titled: The Purim Story to Read and Color!

This printable coloring book has the complete Purim story in short sentences, alongside unique, original illustrations to color. The book is a fun, entertaining way to discover why we celebrate Purim and what story was told in The Book of Esther.

Long ago, in Persia…

If you ever wondered why this Jewish holiday is called Purim, and what happened between King Ahasuerus and his wife Vashti, or who was evil Haman (yes, the one from the hamantash cookies!) or just how brave was Queen Esther and what was the plan of her uncle Mordecai, this coloring book will put you in the know. You’ll meet all the Purim characters and bring them to life with color and creativity!

Spreading Purim joy

The Purim Story to Read and Color is the perfect way to introduce the Purim story for kids. They’ll love flipping through the coloring pages, immersing themselves in the story, and adding their own creative touch to each scene.

As you’ll discover in this coloring book, Purim is a holiday that celebrates joy, victory, and miraculous turns of fate. Aren’t these wonderful themes to share with family and friends?

I imagine how nice it would be to add a printed copy of the The Purim Story to Read and Color to a ‘mishloach manot’ – the traditional Purim basket! Think of the coloring pages bound together with a ribbon, slipped into a shiny cellophane sleeve, and gifted in a basket full of Purim treats. You could even add a small box of crayons or colored pencils to turn it into a complete Purim craft kit 😍

Behind the pages

I put lots of love and attention into The Purim Story to Read and Color. I aimed to create a high-quality coloring book that is modern, attractive, and enjoyable, all while staying true to the tradition and heritage of Purim.

Before I started writing the text for the book, I looked into resources in English and Hebrew to ensure I was telling the Purim story in the most accurate way possible. Then, I spent hours designing the characters, deciding which scenes I would illustrate, and planning how to make each coloring page surprising and intriguing.

While drawing, I did my best to balance between detail and simplicity, so kids of all ages would enjoy coloring the pictures. The illustrations were designed to pique curiosity, enticing kids to explore deeper into the story.

This project was more than just creating a coloring book. It was about connecting generations, enjoying tradition, and enriching kids’ experience of the Jewish holiday.

 Ready when you are

The Purim Story to Read and Color is a wonderful way to explore the tradition behind Purim in a new, engaging format. It’s perfect as a Purim activity or as an educational Purim gift for kids.
