Make A Piniata With Newspaper and Tubes

Love this project! My good friend June Rubin in San Diego CA did this project with her Piniata Making Class at the Tierrasanta Recreation Center. The class was all girls.

It is a great recycled art project using old newspapers and paper towel rolls to make the forms.
