Pinata

The Piñata is a game involving a blindfolded child trying to break the bright candy-and-toy-filled container with a stick. It has been used for hundreds of years in the world to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. Spanish warriors are thought to have brought the Pinata to Mexico, then the tradition went on to the Italians. Historians believe that Marco Polo introduced the Pinata to the Italians after discovering it in the orient.
