In Mexico all through the Christmas festival, children have great fun when they are blind-folded and hit a pinata with a stick. The hollow clay pinata jars are hung above the childern’s heads. They hit them with sticks, and when at last the jar splits, Sweet and treats spill all over the floor!
Decide on what you would like to fill up the pinata with. Candies are the obvious choice, but you can fill it up with other things that are lightweight – confetti, wrapped gum, chocolate coins, small trinkets, and candies. The amount of candies you’ll fill up in the pinata depends on the number of guests you’re expecting for the party and also the size of your pinata.
A typical pinata that you buy in the store can hold a maximum of two pounds of candy – that is about 100. Some pinatas can hold only confetti and candies and nothing else. But there are sturdier and larger pinatas that you can buy or make that you can also fill up with a variety of things.
If you’re buying a pinata, you have the option of getting the regular kind that the kids will try hitting and breaking with a stick. The other kind, which comes with a pull string is more suitable for smaller kids since it’s safer and easier for young children.
If it’s a party for kids and adults, you can get both types of pinata and hang them in two different locations for fun for all.
