The other day my colleague was lamenting the fact that it's hard to find Purim videos that are age-appropriate for young kids (i.e. those that don't have bad language, too much sexuality, etc). The irony of her complaint is that the "real" Purim story (i.e. the Book of Esther found in the Hebrew Bible) is definitely rated R. There are many details that we avoid (or re-write) when we tell the story to children in order to make it a G or PG version instead of the R version it actually is.
All that being said, I did come across two very simple versions of the Purim story that are appropriate for preschool or early elementary school kids. Without further ado...
The Purim Story from Shalom Sesame:
From G-dcast, The Purim Story for Kids and Other Double Dutch Jumping Hipsters:
Cool videos. I really enjoyed watching all the videos. All the kids will love to watch this story. I will show it to my kids too.
