Dinosaur Party Decorations Use ferns, palm trees or any other tropical plants that you may have to make your house look like a pre-historic jungle! Use
brown and
green crepe streamers and
green balloons painted with dinosaurs’ faces, that is, fiery eyes and open mouths with lots of teeth!
If you have animal print material you can dress the birthday kid and guests as cave men! Just cut enough cloth to tie from an elbow passing below the opposite arm and cover the kid up to the knees. Kids can wear their costume on top of their clothes. It’s a great idea to keep their clothes clean too!
Dinosaurs Party GamesHatch the Dinosaur Egg Divide the children into two or three teams, depending on the size of the party. Each kid has a balloon. Each team lines up, with the first ones in line sitting on their “egg” to “hatch it”! The balloon has to break before the next in line can get a chance to break theirs. The winning team can be rewarded with
Dinosaurs Temporary Tattoos.
Stomping the Dino’s Eggs
In this dinosaur game, every one has a balloon tied to a string around his/her ankle. The object of the game is to pop everyone else's balloon while keeping theirs safe. The winner is the last one to have their balloon popped.
Dinosaur Egg Relay
For this fun game you will divide the children into two teams and give each child a spoon and a boiled egg, which you will have previously dyed, a color for each team. Place the two teams side by side waiting in line and on the word Go, first child of each team will race across the room and back, hard boiled egg on the spoon! When they reach back the starting point they must give their spoon with the egg still on it to the next child in their team. Winning team is the one to finish first with egg still on spoon.
Dinosaurs Crafts
Dino’s Fossils
You will need a few packages of air-drying clay, plastic dinosaurs, leaves, plastic bugs, small chicken or turkey bones, etc. Do not be afraid to be creative! Make clay balls beforehand and hand one to each kid. Kids will flatten their clay ball, press the objects into the clay and then remove them. Just let the fossils dry. Kids can decorate them with paint, glitter and other fun stuff. A fossil hunt can also be organized afterwards if the kids are up to it.
Dinosaur’s Cutouts
Cut out dinosaur shapes from construction paper. Let the kids decorate them with glitter, dyed macaroni and rice, felt pens, etc.
Dinosaur Party Recipes
Pterodactyl Wings Just dip chicken wings in BBQ sauce and bake until ready. Serve them on plates covered with previously washed palm leaves for a Jurassic effect! Decorate the table with
Dinosaurs Tableware, stones, tropical flowers and leaves.
Volcano Cake
Start by baking about 4 layers of round cake and place one on top of the other. Cut the layers into some inverted cone shape and frost the outside with chocolate frosting. Let it chill for about one hour, and sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies. Pour strawberry ice cream topping at the top and let it slide down to resemble the lava flowing down the volcano!
