Have you ever heard of a Pinata?
It's a game played in many countries and one I played when I was a child. The Pinata is a little similar to the Japanese
Kusu-dama.
But it is full of toys and sweets, and instead of pulling a rope to open it, we use a bat or stick of some sort and hit it
over and over until it opens.
In other countries you can buy Pinatas from a shop(though many people do make them themselves) but I couldn't find them in
Japan anywhere so I decided to make one myself. They are quite easy to make. You just need a big balloon which you use as the base for the shape, and then cover it with paper mache. Once it has
dried you decorate and or paint it the way you like.
I have never made one before so if all goes well then I will put some pictures up of the finished product in my next
blog.....that is if it does actually all go to plan......Wish me luck.
I'm really looking forward to our Halloween Party. I hope everyone is as excited as me. It's going to be a lot of
fun.
皆さんピニャータって知っていますか？
僕は小さい頃にやったゲームなんですけど、簡単に言うと、日本のくす玉をスイカ割りの要領で子供たちが叩き割るゲームです。
割ると中からお菓子が降ってくるんです。
海外ではピニャータで使う入れ物(くす玉)を売っていますが、日本では見かけないため、手作りしてみようかと。
写真は風船のまわりに新聞紙を張り付けている状態のものです。
うまくいけば、この形のまま固まり、ペイントし、おかしを入れて・・・完成予定です。
うまくいけばですけどね。。。。（笑）
またうまくいったらブログにUPします。
ハロウィーンの準備からわくわくしてます！
