Creating a Papier-Mache Veggie Tales Party Pinata

Below you can watch the steps taken as I was working with Papier-mâché, to create a custom "Bob & Larry" party piñata for my daughter’s Kindergarten Graduation class party. The entire process took a little over ten days (so much drying time), but I managed to fit it into two detailed videos outlining the entire process. These (2) videos are more for viewing enjoyment as opposed to my more usual instructional how to, so sit back, enjoy…oh, and don’t blink (you may miss something LOL! :o)

For creating these pinata forms I used a Punch Balloon to create the form of Bob's body, and a Giant Banner Balloon to form Larry's body.

Authentic Papier-Mache Veggie Tales Party Pinata

Bob and Larry are a couple of veggies that children can never get enough of, especially in my daughters’ class. For her Kindergarten Graduation class party, I volunteered to make the piñata. I first started with the idea to make just Bob the Tomato wearing a grad cap, but soon I upped the ante and added Larry the Cucumber to the mix. Knowing that the Kindergarten class is made up of 20 kids; all who need a turn to swing at the piñata. If not, it could result in many sad, little disappointed faces. With that in mind, I knew I wanted not only to create, but also accommodate.
