Pinatas and
the game explained
For
many many years, people in Mexico have been using Piñatas
(pronounced pin-yah-taws) for almost every occasion.
They are now so popular you could call it a tradition.
A
Piñata is a hand made Papier-mâché/cardboard
model which can be filled with sweets, balloons, small
toys, in fact just about anything of your choice.
The
idea of the game is to fill and suspend the Piñata
by a rope and take turns to hit it with a buster. Each
child gets 2 turns to try and break it open while blindfolded!
(spin the child around first to make it harder!). Once
they have succeeded in breaking it open, the Piñata
will release it's contents and then it's a mad dash for
everyone to see how many goodies they can pick up. The
kids just love it and so do the parents!
Piñatas
are approximately 18-24 inches high by 18-24 inches across,
they are a definite "Party HIT" for any occasion
and don't forget to buy the buster, blindfold and fillers!
Pull
Pinatas and the game explained
'Pull
Pinatas' are a great alternative to the Piñata, the game
is exactly the same but instead of hitting the 'Pull
Piñata with a 'buster', each child takes a turn in pulling
one of the ribbons hanging down from the 'Pull Piñata
If the child is lucky then the ribbon they pull will
be the one that releases the contents!
