I found the original pin on a Halloween board and thought it was a cute idea. I decided my daughter's super hero themed birthday party would be the best time to try it out!

Secondly, I would highly suggest putting double-sided tape all across the board or area you are going to attach the balloons. My husband tried conserving tape and put just a small piece on each balloon...he ended up using more tape because he had to re-attach EVERY single balloon!
Finally, we let each kid throw 3 darts and when they were finished they were able to keep everything that fell from their popped balloons. It worked out great!
Winner/Loser? This pin was definitely a winner in my house! The kids thought it was a lot of fun and none had ever seen a balloon piñata before. Most kids wanted to have a least one more turn throwing the darts and some were able to go three rounds before all the balloons were popped!
