Yaldei HaShluchim Give and Get Mishloach Manos

Ever tried making a shopping list for your kids for Purim? It starts with candies, chips and baskets. Somewhere over the course of time grape juice, bags, stickers and ribbon get added to the list. Oh wait! The costumes! There are hats, masks, spray and more. There’s also Graggers and party snappers. The list goes on. Your kids are excited! Purim is coming and they’re going to get a box full of junk completely for themselves. They prepare fancy ones for special friends, regular ones for their classmates and even extra bags just in case a kid they didn’t plan on giving comes to the house.
