🎊 What Is a Pinata?

A pinata is a festive party decoration traditionally filled with sweets, toys, and treats. The fun? It gets smashed open - either by hitting it with a stick or pulling strings - spilling out goodies for everyone to grab! Whether you are in it for the treats or love to let off a little steam, a pinata is a great injection of excitement to any party.

Originally from Mexico, pinatas have become a popular game at children’s birthdays, family parties, seasonal celebrations, and even adult gatherings.

Whether it’s a drum-shaped pinata you hit blindfolded or a pull string pinata designed for younger children, the excitement of cracking one open never gets old. Especially when trreats are involved!

🧁 What to Put in a Pinata?

One of the most common questions we hear is: what to put in a pinata?

Here are some brilliant filler ideas to create a rush of excitement when it bursts open:

• Wrapped sweets and chocolates 🍬
• Small toys and figures 🧸
• Stickers, temporary tattoos, and mini games 🎯
• Confetti or mini balloons 🎉
• Party favours like whistles or glow sticks 🎈
• Vouchers or small gifts for older kids and adults 🎁

💡 Pro tip: Make sure your fillers are age-appropriate and lightweight enough not to damage the pinata.

👶 Pull String vs Hit-With-A-Stick: Which Pinata Is Right?

Not all pinatas are made to be smashed! Here's the difference:

• Pull String Pinatas – Perfect for younger kids or indoor parties. Each guest takes turns pulling a string, but only one will release the hidden treasures.

• Drum Pinatas (Traditional Smash Pinatas) – These are the classic hit-with-a-stick kind, usually blindfolded for added fun! Great for outdoor or larger spaces.

You can find both types in our curated range at Party Save Smile’s Pinata Collection.
