This weekend we celebrated Brock's birthday. One thing on our list of 100 things is to break a pinata. I figured what better time to do it than at Brock's party?
So silly me, I didn't get a good picture of the pinata, just the kids pulling the strings...oops! Anyway, this was one of the coolest pinatas I've ever seen. I don't know about you, but a bunch of 3 years olds, blindfolded, swinging a bat while dizzy doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. Someone is bound to get a black eye. But this pinata was a pull string pinata! I thought it was pretty cool and the kids got a kick out of it too.
Crazy enough, the last ribbon pulled just so happened to be the trap door string. What luck!
A few tips for pull string pinats:
- Hang the pinata from a very sturdy string. When we got to the last ribbon to pull, the trap door didn't come open very easy and the ended up pulling the whole pinata down.
- Get smaller candy. My lovely assistant Ashley had to help me shake out the candy.
Happy 3rd Birthday Little Man
Friday and Saturday (June 1st and 2nd) we'll probably do a few small things, but starting June 3rd, we kick of with Dairy Week! I'll do a post later this week on our plans!
