About
I make these every year with my children for their classrooms, it's a good alternative to sending little bags of treats (and much more fun)...
I make these with my children every year, they are easy to make and fun. It usually takes us a few days to complete them because the papier-mâché needs to dry in between coats.

Step 1First take 2 balloons and blow them up,on bigger than the other.
Make a papier-mâché paste with glue, flour and water, stir, add water or flour until the paste looks like muffin batter. -
Step 2Take newspapers and tear them into strips. Papier-mâché (dip the newspapers into the paste and wipe off excess) the balloons. Let dry completely. Repeat twice, letting it dry in between coats.

Step 3POP the balloons and cut a whole in the top of the big balloon, it should look like this.
If you plan to hang the pinata you will need a wire hanger. Poke a hole on the top of the big balloon, bend the hanger and insert the hook part through the hole and voila, you can now hang the pinata. Be certain to add extra glue and reinforce around where the hole was made.
