Purim At Akiva

PURIM

The Early Childhood Center was transformed into Persia's capital city of SHUSHAN during the week leading up to Purim this year. Each of the classrooms hosted a different activity throughout the week...in the Shushan Jewelry store, residents could make necklaces & bracelets. While visiting the Royalty Sewing Shoppe, royalty could make their robes & decorate their golden crowns. And what city could be without a bakery? At the Shushan bakery, citizens could make "extreme hamentashen" with creative fillings! But who could forget the Shushan Stables? Residents could make "hobby horses" and when that task was completed, they donned their royal robes, and golden crowns to mount REAL HORSES, just like Mordechai from the Purim story who was recognized for his efforts in saving the King's life!!
