Dear Sis,
This year I invested in a Megillah: Artscroll Youth Megillah: Fully illustrated with the complete text, simplified translation, and comments by Nosson Scherman. It was a great tool for creating our Purim to do list.
Purim To Do List
- Assemble and deliver food baskets to three Jewish friends
