Punch Pinata Adventures

At most of our parties we have a homemade piñata.  I'll have to post about how to make one of those at some point.  But for Blueberry's first birthday, I decided that a "punch" piñata was a better idea.  I thought that I'd dig up those old pictures to show you!

You'll need:

• 2-3 sheets of poster board
• 24+ sheets of tissue paper
• 24+ brown paper bags
• candy or small prizes

We took some poster board and cut out circles big enough for a child to stick their hand into a remove a fist full of candy.  We don't want to make any raccoon traps here!  You'll also want to make sure that the edges of the hole will not give kids any paper cuts!  Make sure you are leaving enough space in between the circles to secure the bags. 

Then tape some colorful tissue paper over the holes and lay out candy on top of the tissue paper.

Cut paper bags in half length-wise.  Then cut each edge about 1 inch.  Fold those over and tape them down.

Let the kids go to town!  You might need to make sure everyone only gets 1 or 2.  Otherwise the more aggressive kids will get a lot of prizes and the little kids won't get anything.  Seriously.  It's like feeding time at the zoo with these kids sometimes!
