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, however in order to have enough supplies on hand, it is helpful for us to know which colours will be used in the project. You'll be asked to fill out this survey after submitting your registration.

Time permitting, we will also create the piñata batons, as well as some small DIY prizes to go inside the piñatas.
