History
of the Pinata |
 |
Pinatas have been used for hundreds
of years in Latin America to celebrate birthday
parties and Christmas.
The tradition is still very strong in all Latin America, where
this party game is played at every
kid party. Having realized that this party
activity provides many fun kid
birthday party ideas, Americans are introducing this traditional
party game in their celebrations. |
There are many versions on where the history
of the pinata begins. However, many agree that this party
game originated in Europe in ancient times. The traditional
star-shaped pinata is thought to be a part of early Christmas
Hispanic celebrations representing the Star of Bethlehem that
guided worshippers in their search for refuge. The use of the
pinata then spread to the New World, where artisans started
to create animal pinatas to
delight children at festivities.
Throughout the history of the pinata,
its designs, setting and uses have varied greatly. Today you
can find pinatas on many different party
themes. Our animal pinatas
are great for a party on your child's favorite animal or for
a theme party on one of today's most popular animal characters.
Nowadays, pinatas are used to celebrate every special occasion,
from birthday parties and holidays
to baby
showers. You can even find a wedding
pinata and pinatas for bachelor parties!
Take advantage of the many uses of a pinata:
fill it with party favors and
party toys or just use it as a
centerpiece to decorate your table.
