cardboard PIÑATAs

In this one day workshop we will create a fun and cheerful piñata to celebrate the school year coming to an end!

Forget the messy and arduous task of multi layer paper mache, we'll be using cardboard and crepe paper to create this project in just one day!

For our Classic Camp age group, we will be teaching safe use of a box cutter knife as one of our hands-on skills.

The piñata shapes are entirely up to our students to decide and we will have lots of photo examples to help inspire their design.

Time permitting, we may also create the piñata whacking batons, as well as some small prizes games to use at your next party.
