These were brought by Spanish conquistadores who conquered Mexico in the 16th century. Although piñatas are commonly associated in Mexico, these were originally "invented" in China. After Marco Polo's expedition in the 14th century, these were brought to Europe (pignattas). From there, these were adopted by Spain.
Piñatas first started in China, to celebrate the New Year. They were first 'discovered' by Marco Polo on the 14th century.

The word pinata is actually Chinese not Hispanic. It was used to celebrate the coming of Spring. Marco Polo voyaged to China where he was introduced to the Chinese custom and was eventually adopted by the Spanish, French and Italians. When Mexico was conquered by the Spanish this custom was brought to their new land.
Cannot speak as to Mexico, but in the US they are most often used for children's birthday parties.
No, you can't create a Pinata on Viva Pinata.
