Imagine, you’ve arranged a grand celebration: little guests are scurrying around, happy, smiling, they are amused by the animator, there is beautiful decor around, tasty treats. How to put a beautiful point? How to complete the birthday party, so that it will definitely be remembered? A themed piñata is what you need!
No birthday party goes by without this amusement. It is usually hung on a branch, in the yard. But you can also hang it at home, if space permits.
Themed piñata in Madrid: what does it look like?
A star. This is the original form of the piñata that is common in Spain. The star has a biblical meaning. It symbolizes Bethlehem. The one that pointed the way for travelers on Christmas Day. The star was seven-pointed, signifying the seven deadly sins.
Now themed piñata looks like a big colorful toy, inside of which is empty. There you can put all kinds of sweets and festive confetti. In this case, the shape can be any: in the form of an animal, a house, a fairy tale character. All that you want. The main thing to fit into the theme of the celebration.
The toy is made of papier-mache, decorated with foil, corrugated paper. On the Internet you can see how to make a piñata with your own hands. To decorate, you can paint it with watercolor, gouache, glue sparkling rhinestones or bright feathers. Also come in handy colored cardboard, paper.
What can you put inside the piñata?
Anything that pleases the soul of a sweet tooth: marmalade, candy, chupa-chups, fruit. If you want, you can surprise your guests by putting toys inside the piñata. Do not forget only that everything should be safe. Do not put fragile things in the toy, so that they do not hurt the guests when they fly down.
Size of the toy
The piñata should be easy to break. Not too big (otherwise it will be difficult for the guests to reach the sweets) and not too small (it is difficult to hit such a toy). Usually its size ranges from 50 to 100 cm.
Where to install the piñata?
Of course, it is ideal when the weather permits and the birthday party is held outside. There is fresh air, space and nothing will prevent children from frolicking. If there’s a prominent tree with strong branches, great. Spread a plaid or a rug, so as not to look for sweets in the grass.
If the holiday is planned indoors, it is necessary to fix the piñata at such a height that it was convenient for children to beat it with a stick.
How do you break a piñata?
A stick. It is with this stick that the little guests get the goodies out of the toy. If you have a purchased piñata, then surely there is a brightly colored stick in the set. The game starts like this: a blindfolded child is “unwound”. In his hands he is already holding a stick at the ready. Then the child starts waving it in an attempt to hit the piñata. At this time, all the other guests support him and have fun. And, of course, they wait their turn to try and smash the toy. Even parents can try to hit the brightly colored piñata. What if you get lucky?!
If the birthday party is organized for kids who will find it difficult to break the piñata on their own, use a simpler version with ribbons. Such a toy opens by itself, it is only necessary to pull down sharply by the ribbons.
What does a themed piñata include?
We will prepare a bright hollow toy that can be hung in the room or on the street. We’ll bring along a weighty bat and a blindfold to keep the kids from peeking and sneaking around! And most importantly, stuff the toy with candy. We can imagine how excited the kids will be when they smash the piñata! They’ve never seen so many treats before!
