Can I fill a pinata without using candy?

Filling a Pinata Without Using Candy

While a piñata is traditionally packed with candy, there are times when you need to find an alternative, such as when a diabetic child is attending the birthday celebration. While it is a bit more difficult to do, you can fill a piñata without using candy. Just be prepared to spend a bit more money, since you will not be getting the value assortment of cheap toys and candy that is packaged for use in piñatas.

Any small party favors that are on the sturdy side, such as plastic skydivers or whistles, are a great choice. While plastic rings with fake gemstones seem like a great idea, most of them tend to come apart by the time the piñata is broken open and they hit the ground.
Small packets of healthy food, like raisins and sunflower seeds, are also a good idea. Just be sure to consult with the parents of children with special dietary requirements to make sure your choices are okay before you include them.
The little puzzle boxes in the dollar section of your local big value store will also fit in a piñata, as will the trick or treat sized fun dough tubs.
