How to make an Elmo PInata

Supplies

Balloon
Red streamers
Newspaper
flour
water
bowl (to keep balloon steady while working with it) as above
black construction paper for the mouth
oval styrofoam (michael's craft store)
orange craft paint to paint the nose
Round white styrofoam for eyes (michael's craft store)
Round googly eyes and glued them to styrofoam
To make just youtube how to make a pinata.  Basically mixing water with flour. Cut strips of newspaper add to the balloon.  I covered the whole balloon with the exception of the top so I can put the candy in later. Once dried  (you may use a fan to speed up the drying)  overnight I then added streamers.  I cut the oval styrofoam egg in half so it would lay flat against the balloon then I painted it orange with craft paint.  Glued on the googly eyes and lastly cut out the mouth and glue TADA!!!! Oopss forgot made two holes on the side once the newspaper dried and added the string to hang from. OH yeah fill up with goodies Now TADA!!!  This was fun and did not cost much :)
