Just for the fun of it, I created a Mario and a Luigi papier-mâché piñata. I thought this would be a great opportunity to share with you how character head piñatas can be a lot of fun at any celebration. Besides the obvious fun (piñata holds goodies), the piñatas can make a picture perfect momentum. You can take a picture of the group, or of each guest with the piñata; solo or with birthday boy/girl. Try this pose for Funny pictures: Hang piñata at head level, have guest stand behind the piñata. Piñata will appear to be the head on the guests’ body. Kids love it!

Hi - I'm having a Mario Kart Party for my son's 4th Bday and I am interested in ordering the mario and luigi pinatas or possibly hearing some ideas from you on what kind of pinatas would be godd for this theme. Do you make decorations? I'm looking for somethings that can go with the mario kart theme for a back yard party.

Not sure if you looked though the "Yoshi Party" page, but there you can see some cute ideas that can also coordinate to a Mario Kart theme. :o)

I made this for my son's 6th birthday. It's a huge hit and his party isn't for 5 more days. Everyone that has seen it, loves it! I loved doing the paper mache, it was so relaxing. Thanks for sharing such detailed instructions!
