Comments about Spirit Pumpkin Pinata:

The strings are much shorter than pictured. Kids can't reach it. The strings on the bottom fell off because they were taped together and not to the pumpkin. No instruction as to where to put the candy and how to use the pinata. Called customer service and the girl had no idea. I receivd the pinata a week after my daughter's party. Do NOT believe their estimated time of delivery. Add about another 5 days to that. I returned it but am out the 6.99 I paid for shipping. I HATE buying online and will never do it again. The only reason I did was because it was the only way to get a HALLOWEEN pinata for my daughter's HALLOWEEN party.

I typically buy a pinata for all of my kids birthday parties. The pull string pinatas are definatley the best option for the younger kids but this one was a terrible dissapointment. Upon arrival it was quite obvious which string was the "magic" string that would open the pinata. It was shorter than the others, a different color than the others and located separate from the other strings (quite obvious to even my three year old). But most dissapointing was at the party when the first child went to pull a string and the entire bundle of strings came off at once. (They were all hot glued together) We ened up having to hit the pinata in traditional fashion but this was difficult and frustrating for the 3 year old group. Overall a bust...no pun intended.

String pinata's are very hard to find. I don't care for the beating of the regular pinata. I've been buying pinata's for 13 years with two children and it seems they are more expensive, but becoming cheaply made. This pinata had no opening to put candy in. Then when filled the string is pulling so not sure if we can hang it up or not. Just really disappointed with the quality of it. Plus, they didn't have any at the store so I had to order it, pay extra for shipping for something that probably cost $2 to make and I'm paying [$] for. Make your own, it will probably be cheaper and better quality.

The pull strings on this aren't as long as they are pictured, but still ok. The instructions don't include how to stuff it, or where the "door" is, and i'm scared of poking around or I might mess it up. This is my first experience with a pinata of this type and I wish the instructions also included if the string that opens it looks like all the others. There is a shorter red string but I have no idea if that is the door to stuff it or what? I don't want to ruin it!!! But otherwise, looks great and will be fun at the party!
