A piñata is a colorful, often animal-shaped container made of paper or cardboard, filled with candy and small toys. Traditionally used in celebrations like birthdays and holidays, it is hung from a height, and participants take turns trying to break it open with a stick while blindfolded. Once broken, the treats spill out, and everyone rushes to collect the goodies. The origins of the piñata can be traced back to ancient cultures in Mexico and China. Over time, it has become a popular party game in many countries, symbolizing fun, joy, and the excitement of sharing treats with friends and family.
