Every year on birthdays and other special holidays, people in Mexico make Piñatas. Piñatas are big, colourful animals made out of paper. Inside the Piñatas are many sweets. People take turns to hit the Piñatas with a stick. When it breaks, the sweets spill out onto the ground. Then everybody has a lot of fun picking them up! In Mexico, Piñatas are a very popular tradition. But not many people know that the first Piñatas came from China!
