Learn how to make a Pinata! Pinatas are often found at Mexican celebrations and are now commonly used at birthday parties. You can make them in all shapes and sizes! Pinatas are usually hung in the air and children are blindfolded and take turns swinging at the pinatas trying to break them open so the candy and toys inside spill out. Try making your own pinata at home using the ideas shared here.
