#5 If you have little ones maybe a children’s activity like making a paper mache Pinata will be fun for the whole family.
The ingredients that you will need are: Round balloons, Old newspapers (Hola America is recommended) 😉 ,Flour, Water, Washable tempera paints, String, Scissors, Mexican Candy.
This project takes about 5 days to complete but doing a little each day makes it fun.
Blow up the balloon not too tight.
Make a flour and water paste.
Cut the newspapers into strips.
Dip the newspaper strips into the flour/water paste and apply to the balloon.
Let dry overnight.
Repeat this process for 4 more days.
On the 5th day let completely dry and begin to paint.
Small children can finger paint and older children can paint with a brush.
After it is completely dried, cut a small hole in the top to add the candy.
Add candy.
Poke holes on opposite sides to put the string through.
Tie onto a pole.
Enjoy like a regular pinata.
Optional: Instead of paint, you can decorate the pinata with tissue paper.
