This popcorn box pinata was a huge success at our backyard movie night birthday party! Both in its construction and in its appearance. We’ve learned so much about pinata making over the years with our teapot pinata, Eiffel tower pinata, and our famously indestructible pineapple pinata. This pinata was the maybe the best we’ve ever made and I’ll explain exactly…
It’s family game night and you want to have fun with the kiddos but you’re afraid that another game of Candyland or Chutes and Ladders will have your brain slowly melting away.
