Ole!  






This piñata was tuna-safe!

This piñata had three separate compartments in the body. The kids were getting older and stronger, and I was afraid that one good swing would bring a quick end to the whole piñata-whacking fun. I made three round compartments using balloons, then built the dolphin's body around the three balloons. Each compartment had its own hanging string.

The eyes were ping pong balls painted gloss black. I know real dolphin eyes don't look anything like that, but liked the way the black contrasted with the blue and white of the rest of the dolphin.
