Simple Piñata Instructions
Blow up a balloon.
Mix flour and water to make a glue with a runny consistency. (This is quick and easy, and more can be made if you run out)
Tear long strips of newspaper.
Use a brush to paste the glue onto the strips, putting them onto the balloon, one at time, and pasting them again each time you add another strip.
Cover the balloon with about three layers of newspaper. Then do a final pasting with the glue.
Leave to dry – Takes about three days.
Pop the balloon and pull it out.
Fill the piñata with sweets
Decorate the piñata by painting it and covering it with streamers and pictures of choice.
Tie it with string and hang it in a safe place.
Make sure that the children stand well away from harm as each child in turn is blindfolded and handed the stick to have a go at bashing the piñata until the sweets fall out.
