The Mexican celebrations do have the pinata. Without it there is no celebration. The pinata could be in any shape which holds the candies, fruits, and toys in it. The people who take part in the celebration have to break that pinata to get access to the items found in the pinata. The shape of the pinata could be anything from plants, flowers, animals, and stars. It is easy to create your own pinata at home. The ingredients needed to create a pinata are flour, water, newspaper, balloon, paint, crayons, string and crepe papers. With these materials you can create your own pinata.

Make a paste with the flour and the water. Blow up the balloon and tie it. Use the paste on the paper and place the paper on the balloon. Once it dries up dip another paper in the paste and place it on top of the already placed one on the balloon. Let is dry. Leave a hole at the top. Once the papers dries up, pop the balloon and remove it and now you get the shape of the pinata. Make another hole at the top to tie a string to the pinata and hang it. Now put the items inside it so that you can use it in the celebrations.
