Sesame Street pinatas too cute to hit

I'm torn on the pinata thing, I have to admit. Not in general. I love a good pinata smacking, not to mention all the lovely candy spilling out.

But, what about a pinata in the shape of a beloved Sesame Street character? Will a child be traumatized by being asked to beat in Elmo's head? (A child. Some of us adults would do it gladly.)

On the other hand, does a toddler care what he's hitting as long as candy comes out?

With that caution in mind, there are some cute Sesame Street pinatas to be had out there. You can get all of these at the Sesame Street Store, but I did find better prices on the Abby Cadabby and Elmo versions at Shindingz.

Pick from one of those or go with Cookie Monster. They're all about a foot and a half tall, so should hold plenty of candy for a passel of kids. There's also a round pinata featuring a host of characters.
