Dinosaur Birthday Party

Roarrr...DINOS are on the loose! Make your prehistoric dinosaur hunter feel like a hero leading an archeological dig. Beware of unauthorized excavations in your yard, but maybe a little hide 'n seen, with a herd of stegosaurus doing the hiding amongst the trees and bushes?  It's all imaginative adventure seeking...

Make It Special!

Party Invitations

  • Cut out dinosaur footprints from cardstock. Print the party details on the feet. Guarantee an historic good time.

Party Decorations

  • Make extra dinosaur footprints while making invitations. Place the footprints at your home entryway and let the prints lead the way to where the party activities will take place.
  • Place inflatable dinos thoughout the party space.
  • Let the dino cake take center stage on the table. Place small dinos at each place setting.

Party Games & Activities

  • Look for rubber "dino noses" at a party store (it's hysterical to see little ones with these on!), along with a T-Rex pinata. Fill with "dinosaur eggs" (malted milk balls, jaw breaker candy, or large jelly beans).
  • Stage a fossil hunt...send the kids out to find large rocks you've hidden in the yard.  Let them decorate their rocks with markers or acrylic paint to look "old". 
  • Make a lifesize cardboard dino. Cut a hole where kids can put their head and have pictures taken. 

Party Favors

  • Fill loot bags with dino stickers, plastic dinos, temporary tattoos and more.
