I don’t want people to think that just because I think pinatas are evil that I don’t want kids to have fun. So I look for non-violent alternatives to pinatas to suggest. Here’s one I quite like. Burying goodies in a sandbox and having the kids dig for “gold.” I love it. No bashing of animal effigies and no follow up bashing of parents.
Down With Pinatas
Great idea. We did that with our pinata this year except we burried about 30 different objects in the sand and once you were blindfolded and took a shot of tequilla, you had to dig in the sand until you found an object…then you had to use that object to beat the pinata (which happened to be an angry robot). Such objects included a bat, a crutch, a lamp, a can of beer, a lawn chair, a sock filled with sand, a wet rope and yes…another pinata. There is nothing funnier than watching a drunk girl try to bash open a pinata with another pinata. Pure Gold!
wished you’d taken a video of that party Tyler, wouldve loved to see that go down.
