That catches you up to where we were today. Next we popped and removed the balloon.

Then we made six cones from folded typing paper. We cut the bottoms straight, and secured them to the pinata with more glue dipped paper strips.

We brushed the pinata with our glue mixture, and added strips of tissue paper for color.

We poked holes in the top, on either side of the opening, and threaded through some twine. We used a yarn needle, but an unbent paper clip works too.

Finally, we added some tissue paper streamers to the ends of the cones.

Now all it needs is candy, and a little more tissue paper to close the opening, and we'll be ready for Cinco de Mayo.
It's great to be a homeschooler.
