Piñata is a hollow toy filled with small gifts (sweets, toys etc.). A piñata is made usually for a celebration, it hangs from the ceiling and is to be broken with a stick by a blindfolded child (if found).

Kids love stamping. Roberta's stamps inspired me to carve simple stamps from erasers for my children. Use special gouges if you have (like lino cutting tools), or a craft knife if you don't. A ballpoint pen is good for drawing on an eraser. After the stamp is ready, apply some paint (we used watercolours) and print.
