First, be sure to schedule your party around nap times, and keep it short, 1 to 1 ½ hours is probably about all the time a little one can handle while maintaining his sweet disposition. Invite special friends, family, a few birthday party kids (1 to 3 is a good idea at this age), and if possible, include someone who is willing to help out while you care for the birthday boy or any unexpected accidents.

Children seem to have a natural affinity to animals so another idea for your little boy’s party is the fun barnyard party theme featuring a few of your child’s most popular farmyard friends.

How to Play the Piñata Party Game

Whether you are hosting an adult or a child birthday party, the Piñata party game is bound to be the highlight of the celebration. The Piñata is a great kid party game for all occasions!

Here’s how to play the Piñata Party Game:

Step by Step Instructions:

1. First, make sure you have everything needed to play this kid party game, such as a rope, a place from where to hang the Piñata (a tree branch, a basketball hoop, two adults holding ends of a rope with a Piñata hanging in middle, etc.), Piñata candy and toy stuffers, a Piñata buster stick and blindfolds for the participants.

2. Fill the Piñata with the party favors before guests arrive at the party.

3. Organize the kids in a line, starting with the smallest one all the way to the tallest one. Only blindfold children that are over 3 years old, then spin them around a few times, provide them with the Piñata buster stick and let loose to hit the Piñata.

4. For safety’s sake, while a child is hitting the Piñata during the game, all other children must be kept away (a minimum 15′ radius is recommended) from the hitter. Furthermore, the child should have completely ceased to hit the Piñata before you allow the other kids to go grab the party favors spilled on the floor.

5. Allow each child to hit the Piñata at least a couple of times before you move on to the next child.

To make the Piñata party game even more fun, the Piñata must be swung up and down, and guests must be encouraged to misdirect the Piñata hitter (if the Piñata is down, tell the hitter the Piñata is up, etc).

Pull String Piñatas Work Well for Younger Kid’s Birthday Parties

The pull string Piñata is a particularly good game idea for small kids birthday parties or indoor celebrations. It is a fun, yet safe party game for the youngest kids who can get hurt trying to break open the Piñata with a buster bat. Our partner stores also offer a inexpensive complete Piñata conversion kit with clear instructions to convert a normal Piñata into a pull ribbon Piñata.

How to Make a Pull String Piñata

1) First of all, the Piñata must have a flat bottom. Cut a 3″x3″x3″ flap on the bottom of Piñata as close to center as possible. Perforate a small hole near the extreme of flap where it opens.

2) Pass a ribbon through flap and tie a knot from the side that will remain inside the Piñata.

3) Close flap. Do not secure flap with any tape or adhesive.

4) Using scotch or masking tape attach ribbons around base of Piñata. Pull the ribbon that is hanging out of trap and bring it to same level as other ribbons.

5) Spread glue over the bottom of the Piñata and apply the tissue paper making sure that all ribbons are completely covered. Let dry. Your pull string Piñata is ready!
