This summer the kids wanted to learn to make homemade pinatas. We saved cereal boxes, went to the dollar store and bought a ton of tissue paper and some bags of candy. They each decided on a design and then cut, taped, glued and shaped their frames.
We filled them with candy,
then sealed them up....
Then they took tissue paper, cut it into frayed strips and glued it on to decorate them. They turned out so cute, the kids seriously did an awesome job. I LOVE Hunter's taco pinata, the view from the side where you can see the meat, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and cheese on top is the best.
Here they all are, the finished products.
Avery's popsicle.....
Emma's rocket ship.....
Hudson's car.....
More pics of Hunter's taco.....
After getting back from Hard Rock Cafe on Ave's birthday Deke attached each one to a string in the garage and we let the kids bust them open. Hudson's first pinata experience, he loved it.
Emma kept giggling so hard and I think she secretly didn't want to break hers so she would barely tap it. When we reminded her that it was the only way to get the candy out she became a little more motivated. I sort of understood where she was coming from though. After all that time making it and it was so cute I don't think I would want to break it either.
Hudson actually wanted to get his open after watching the other kids candy come out everywhere. We all laughed so hard watching him try his hardest to crack it. When dad intervened and helped him out and the candy went flying he practically jumped out of Deke's arms trying to get down and go scoop up his loot
Ave of course was ready and came out swinging....
Poor taco didn't stand a chance and Hunter had it in two hits.
Honestly I don't think I would ever buy a pinata again. They were easy to make and fun to be able to create your own ideas. As we went to check it off the bucket list I felt so sad to see there are hardly anythings left on our board. Summer is almost over and school is headed our way and I am not ready for it :(
