Party Pinatas are a Hit

When arranging a children’s party, don’t forget the key to a successful one is for the youngsters to have an excellent time, fun, fun!  And what interprets fun better than playing party games and contests.  One unique and pleasant game that you can never go far wrong with is the pinata!  Not only does a pinata make a great party decoration, it is great entertainment too.  The pinata game is a competition that simply works by first postponing a pinata from the ceiling.  Then, each kid is given an opportunity to break the pinata bank with a strong stick.  For the wonders of it, the kid is blindfolded and is formed to turn around 2 or 3 times and then was positioned in the direction of the pinata.

The thrill incorporates expectation on who gets to break the pinata and release all of the goodies within.  Pinatas can come in many shape and sizes.  The most simple form could be in a variety of a clay pot with candies inside but more frequently than always, we look for something fancier, the type that would indulge and pleasure the kid in each one of us.  It's best then that you find one that relates with your party theme.  There are a superabundance of suppliers offering to make customized pinatas that suit your party wishes.  The project might be slovenly and need your time but then again, it might be an even opportunity to work with and have a bond with your children before the party.  Making a piata is moderately easy and you do not want to spend too much on supplies either.  You will basically need a pinata pattern, an inflated balloon, old papers, scissors, glue, sticky tape, card, tissue papers, strings and crayons.  Don’t forget the goodies that you’re going to fill the pinata with.

Think candies, chocolates, tiny toys and even nickels.Get the inflated balloon and cover it over with Paper Mache.  Paper Mache can be made by first mixing glue to water.  Then dip the papers, which should have been cut and torn in strips measuring six inches tall and one in.  In width, in the mix.  Layer the paper strips on the balloon covering it but remember to leave a little space for your opening.

Let the 1st layer dry before setting in a second one.  When dry, pop up the balloon and take it out.  This may leave a hole on the space that you did not cover with mache.  Cut the card in the shape of your hole and use to cover it.  Seal with the sticky tape and lay layers of paper mache on it then let dry.  Make holes on the side and slide in the strings to hold the pinata.

Paint your pinatas in different colours with the crayons and voila, you are ready for your party! 

If this sounds like too much difficult work for you go to your nearest party supplies shop and get one ready made.
