Pinatas are a fun kid party game that even adults love to play! You can also use them as centerpieces or hang them around the house to accent your party decoration.

Pinata Designs

These colorfully decorated papier-mache figures have been a part of Latin American celebrations for centuries and are becoming more and more popular in the United States. Pinatas come in many different shapes. Today you can find them shaped as kids' favorite characters.

This fun party supply is decorated with colorful tissue paper and sometimes with glitter. Pinatas are most often filled with candy and party toys and hung from a beam or a tree.


How do you play this kid party game?

Each player is blindfolded, given a stick and turned three times. The player is released and given three tries to hit the pinata open to release the candies and party favors. The other kids can orientate the player (or confuse him!) to where the pinata is by saying "left", "right", "at your back", etc.
