Piñata 101

In the mexican tradition, yes, we have a lot of traditions; the piñata for a Christmas party, called "posada", is a main character, because it represents the sins we need to beat out, in fact "las piñatas" were created for "las posadas" not for kid's birthdays parties. I think because they turned to be a fun entertainment, now you see them in other kind of celebrations.

How to make a piñata for the "posada", not big deal. First cover a balloon with paper and a mixture of flour and water, so it gets hard.

Para hacer una piñata estrella, que usaremos en la posada, solo necesitamos un globo que cubrimos con engrudo y periodico, unos conos de cartoncillo, papel de china para decorar, y ya.

Now make the cones for the star and decorate them.

Bidane, Aitana and Aida help with the decoration.
