Birthday Pinatas & Accessories

What is in a pinata?

Pinatas are the ultimate birthday party activity and are typically filled with a variety of confectionery, such as smarties, sour worms, jelly beans, swirly pops, jubes, lolly snakes, and many more. As you can fill up a birthday pinata with whatever you want, the sky is the limit! You could also use chocolate bars, toys, animal crackers, chocolate coins or whatever you like.

Who hits the pinata at a birthday party?

The rules of the pinata game are very simple. All children at the party are organised into a line, starting with the youngest at the front and the oldest at the back. Each child is then blindfolded and takes turns hitting the pinata one at a time with a stick. The number of swings each child gets can be determined before starting the game. Once the pinata breaks and all the lollies drop onto the floor, every one counts to ten before letting the children run in and collect their hard-earned candy!

What should I fill my pinata with?

As mentioned before, candy, lollies and chocolate are usually used when filling pinatas - however, you can get creative if you are wanting to stay away from sugar. You can fill your pinata with a wide selection of temporary tattoos and stickers, which kids always love. You could also use glow sticks, confetti, fruit snacks, bouncy balls, and even small toys such as dinosaurs, animals or cars.
