One of the activities for the party was a piñata.

It was the typical balloon piñata. We just used flour & water to make a paste and strips of news paper to cover the balloon with.

Ken rigged a sort of frame out of some wire that he wrapped around the ballon before we started covering it with strips of newspaper, and made a loop at the top, to hang the piñata by later.
The next day when it was dry, I glue-gunned tissue paper around the piñata so that you wouldn't see newspaper peeking through when it was finished.

Then I started glue-gunning crepe streamers around it, and cutting the edges like this:

And here's how it turned out:

Ken attached it to the end of a stick and held it out for the girls to hit, like so:

And it was so fun to watch them hitting it (with a pot... cuz in the movie, there's a lot of hitting things with a frying pan. And because a frying pan seemed like a little much for these little girls ;)
