Pinata Party!

I've been making these colourful pinatas for birthday parties lately. 

They're always such a hit with the children - as well as the adults. 

And they're such fun to make!

I found this amazing picture on pinterest the other day (via Amy Prior) and I just had to share it.

I'm assuming it's an illustration from a vintage children's book.

Isn't it beautiful?

I haven't been able to find out who the illustrator is or where it's from, so if you have any information about it, please let me know.
