Dinosaur Party Ideas
This is going to be a ‘dino’mite Dinosaur Party. What boy does not love dinosaurs and using their imaginations? A dinosaur birthday party will excite all their imaginations and possibly increase their love towards their future aspiration of becoming a palaeontologist.

Dinosaur Party Supplies and Decorations
- Make your own Dinosaur party invitations by creating an egg card and write:
"Come to a prehistoric bash and Party with the Dinosaurs!"
On the inside paste a picture of a dinosaur with the birthday information. You can use all different dinosaurs and on the other side of the card you can write out some information about the particular type of dinosaur.
- Use the colour theme greens, browns and blue
- Hang twinkle lights in the sky that will look like stars and fireflies
- Hand blue cellophane along the ceiling to make the sky
- Twist brown butcher block paper to create tree trunks and branches (3D coming out of your wall) and use construction paper (with tissue paper and glitter glue) to create branches. You can also add some real large potted trees.
- Hang some large cut out dinosaurs
- Use a large appliance box and paint to look like a cave (put a grey towel/blanket and pillows inside for comfort
- Have binoculars and hats for the guests
