Make your own Pinata for a childs party

My son recently turned five and we made this Pinata for his party that was LEGO themed.
Using tissue boxes, crepe paper and milk bottle tops for the Lego top, we then filled it with our own wrapped lollies and bags of popcorn and chips. Its good not to make it too strong, as it takes
quite a whacking to release the goodies! You could make almost any character and then tie it up
and have a plastic bat, needing some parental supervision so there are no accidents.
