How to make a Sweetie Piñata

Pinatas are lots of fun at a party and kids love bashing them! Here is how to make an easy Sweetie Piñata for your Chocolate Factory Party.

What you will need:

• A football or any round shaped piñata (available at Amazon.)
• Tissue paper
• Glue
• Confetti (or torn up tissue paper)
• Sweets and/or toys. We filled ours with mini packs of nerds, whoopee cushions, tattoos and scratch and sniff stickers.

What to do:

• If it is a football piñata or has any strong markings then rip off the markings (so they don’t show through).

• Fill with prizes and confetti and cellotape up the hole.
• Stick the sheets of tissue paper together to create one large sheet
• Place the piñata in the middle of the tissue, wrap the tissue around and cut a hole for the hanging loop then glue the seam.

• Gather the sides and tie with ribbon or twine at both ends to create the sweetie

• Hang the piñata up and let the children whack it with a soft bat or piñata stick. Make sure children who are not taking their go stand well back!

• When it is broken up then shake the remaining treats and confetti over the children and let them gather them up.

• Top Tip: give the children their party bag before you start so they have somewhere to put their goodies. Also keep a few things back if you have extra in case someone isn’t fast enough and misses out!
