GIRL: "Full Time Kid," with Mya.
[laughs] Hi, I'm Mya.
Today I'm going to show you how to make a pinata.
Here's what you'll need.
Some newspaper.
1/2/ cups of flour.
1 cup of water.
A bowl.
A spoon.
A pair scissors.
A balloon.
Some tissue paper.
And a bowl of your favorite candy.
Place some cardboard and newspaper to protect your area where you're going make your pinata, and make sure to wear a sweater or some old clothes to protect you.
This can get messy.
The first thing you're going to do is cut your newspaper into strips, like this.
Then you're going to make your paste.
First, pour your flour into the bowl.
Then slowly add the water.
Then mix.
You'll know when it's done when it looks milky, like this.
If you can't blow up a balloon, ask an adult.
Thank you.
Then you're going to dip your newspaper into the mixture, like this.
Make sure to take off any excess.
Then stick it onto your balloon.
Repeat until your balloon is covered with the newspapers.
Make sure not to cover knot.
That's where we're going to put our candy.
Once you're done with your first layer on your balloon, you're going to get your ribbon and stick it on both sides of the knot so you can hang it later.
Then you're going to make your second layer.
Once you're done making your second layer, you're going to leave it to dry before you decorate with tissue paper.
That was hard work.
Hi, guys.
Once your pinata dried, ask an adult to pop the balloon and take it out.
Cool!
Once you're done popping it out, get some tissue paper and cut it like this so we can decorate.
Once you've done decorating you pinata, put in your candy.
Now put all that hard work to the test.
Destroy it!
[music playing] Paste, paste, paste, paste, paste.
I wonder if it tastes good?
ADULT: No!
