The things we do for our kids! For the second year in a row, my son wanted a Skylanders themed birthday party. Having to come up with some new, exciting ideas, we decided a great way to end the party was to DEFEAT Kaos (the main villain). What better way, than smashing a piñata.
Thinking this would be a great bonding experience, I found myself doing the messy part. The project was simple, just glad I started a week in advance to give the paper mache layers time to dry. I did one layer a night - 4 layers of newspaper and the final layer was white copy paper. The pinata lasted 9 kids, 3 hits each before it broke!!
Here is the punch balloon we covered. Torn pieces of newspaper dipped in a mixture of flour and water.
After the final layer (white copy paper), we painted it skin color.
My husband had fun drawing Kaos' face. It turned out perfect. We cut a hole in the top and filled it with goodies. Then we made two holes and strung ribbon through to hang up.
It was a "hit"...the kids loved it! More party highlights here: http://mrsodaniels.blogspot.com/2015/01/trap-team-birthday.html?m=1
