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 seek, with a herd of stegosaurus doing the hiding amongst the trees and bushes? It's all imaginative adventure seeking...

"Create a patch of grass for your dino by coloring coconut with green food color. Sprinkle it around the dino's feet."

Birthday Cake

Dinosaur Cake

Serve With:

Lemon-Strawberry Punch

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 throughout 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.
