Does this look like fun to you?

Ginnie has posted an idea of something to do if you are "getting antsy staying home."  Make a coronavirus pinata.  Okay, this is an original idea.  Smash that pinata to get rid of your pent-up frustrations.  Think of what fun children would have making — and smashing — a pinata.  And think of the laughter that would ensue.  I can't help you with how to make paper mache, but here's what Google suggests (click that link).  Maybe you'll get side-tracked and end up making some lovely thing out of the paper mache instead.

Words of the Day
pent-up / pent-up / pentˈəp / adjective = closely confined or held back.  Example:  "Get rid of pent-up frustrations by whacking a coronavirus pinata."

paper mache / (US)ˌpeɪpɚ məˈʃeɪ / from the French papier-mâché (literally “chewed-up paper”) =  a substance made from paper pulp that can be molded when wet and painted when dry.

Great idea! I bought myself a Damn It doll recently and it's quite satisfying to thwack it against the desk or wall in frustration.
