We made these pinatas for our unit on Mexican Americans. You won't believe how easy they are to make. You make a solution of flour and water, (add a little salt to deter molding) you want a sticky, gluey consistency. Then you blow up a balloon, rip strips of newspaper and dip them in the solution and then layer over the balloon. After a day or two it will be dry and you can simply paint it or glue tissue paper to it. We then cut a small whole in the top and added some prizes! Fun and easy! You wouldn't believe how hard it was to break!
