sprinkles, the better. In Jamaica, the child is often surprised with a dusting of flower from head to toe, with some having water

thrown on them first to ensure that the flower sticks.

pinnata. The children are blindfolded and use sticks or bats to swing at a paper mache figure that is preloaded with

candy. Every child wants to be the one to burst the pinata open and the piñata has usually undergone a huge beating by the time it breaks.

In a viral video posted two years ago, a child in Houston, Texas is seen viciously beating
