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.
