School holiday fun

How awesome does this piñata look? Want to have some fun during the school holidays? Want to make a your own? Well I have 2 tickets to giveaway to a fantastic event at the Powerhouse Discovery Centre at Castle Hill. Here are the details:

Papier Mâché Piñata!

Workshop Part 1: 1.30pm–3.30pm, Thursday 5th July

Workshop Part 2: 10.00am–12.00pm, Friday 6th July

Powerhouse Discovery Centre

172 Showground Road, CASTLE HILL

‘M’ is for Mexico! Presented by Hughes Studio, this workshop offers fun times for the whole family to enjoy together. Each adult and child will create and decorate their own piñata to take home while learning about the construction process of the piñata, as well as the cultural symbolism and significance of this festive Mexican tradition. There will even be an opportunity to try cracking a pre-made piñata in the traditional method...with a blindfold and a piñata stick of course! Please note that this workshop will be delivered over two consecutive days to allow for the papier mâché to dry and participants will need to attend both days to complete their piñata. All materials are supplied.Suitable for 6+ years–adult and young children must be accompanied by a responsible adult or older sibling.




Leave a comment on this post or on the post on Facebook by 8pm Saturday night and I'll let you know on Sunday if you are the lucky winner. If I can get the day off work on Thursday I'll even see you there.

Cass, they look great! We went to a 5yo party earlier in the year and the birthday boy had selected his favourite pinata for the day...unfortunately his parents had not explained the purpose of the pinata...hence Master 5 had a meltdown when thd kids started beating it with a stick!

I always thought Pinata's were cool. You get to hit something and candy comes out.
