Here’s an idea

Using an inflated balloon, papier mache to create an octopus body leaving a small hole at the base. Once dry pop the balloon and fill your papier mache body with sweets. Close up the remaining hole and decorate your octopus with paint, attaching eight legs (you can make these from paper chains or crepe paper streamers). Hang your pinata up and get whacking!
