Dinosaur Party Ideas
Kids love
dinosaurs. The mystery of the prehistoric creatures come alive
in this colorful new metallic pattern to decorate your party!
Transport your party guests to the
murky depths of the Jurassic or Mesozoic Era. The kids won’t
have to imagine what it was like in prehistoric times when
dinosaurs inhabited the earth…because you’ll take them there!
We’ve gathered everything you’ll need to decorate and celebrate
in a manner the kids will really “dig”!
Have your Paleontologists get their picks and shovels
& come on
in... for a fossil dig.
Dinosaur Party Slogans &
Invitations
Party Slogan:
After selecting this theme for your party, choose a slogan to
use in your invitations, and to use in tying in decorations and
personalized favors to your Dinosaur theme. Find the perfect
slogan for your party by trying one of the following, or by
thinking of one that suits your precious child.
”Dino-mite Party!”
“Prehistoric Party!”
“David’s Dinosaur Dig!”
“Martin’s Jurassic Adventure”
Dinosaur Invitations:
Choose one of the following invitations to let your young guests
know that they are about to be transported back to a time when
dinosaurs ruled!
Send out
Prehistoric Invitations. Add a little sand to each envelope
for a touch the kids will really “dig.” Address each envelope to
“Paleontologist Lee” (each child’s last name), or “Jack-osauras”
(first name, hyphen, osuaurus).
Design your own invitation on your computer using a personalized
party slogan, along with an image of your choosing… Attach a
Plastic Bone to the invite with curling ribbon. The invite could
say, “No Bones About It…Jacob digs dinosaurs!”
As an alternative, purchase one of our inexpensive
Pith Helmets for each party guest. Attach a
computer-generated sticker with all the party details to the
back of the hat. Hand deliver the invites, and ask guests to
wear them to the party with safari attire. They’ll be ready for
a prehistoric adventure!

Dinosaur Party Decorations
When decorating your party the motif is the visual
representation of your theme, which is created by the use of objects or
symbols. This symbol may be repeated on your invitations, program, plates, or
decorations. Sometimes the use of several different symbols will be used
as components of the theme.
Develop the motif for your dinosaur party by using a list of words related to
a Dinosaur theme. Brainstorm a list to create your pool of
ideas. This list is very important for generating ideas that can
be applied to all areas of the party.
Here are a few words to get you
started: Volcano, forests, flowering plants, ferns, horsetails,
palms, prehistoric animals, toy dinosaur figures, Raptor eggs,
Dinosaur bones, trees (Ficus, Pine), vines, sea grasses, rocks, sand,
water, fossils, prehistoric flying creatures.
If you use a dinosaur theme
incorporate items from your list of words like: plants, flowers,
trees, vines, volcanoes into your decorating and include a variety of colors and textures
(rocks, sand, bones).
Setting a table with
the
Dinosaur Paper Goods,
including the tablecloth, cups, plates, napkins, and cutlery is
the fastest way to create a focal point in a room.
Place a
Dinosaur Centerpiece
on the table or turn a
Pith Helmet
upside down, and place a balloon bouquet inside the hat.
A Pith Helmet also
makes a terrific serving dish for dry snacks such as chips,
pretzels or candy.
Display a Dinosaur
cake or Volcano cake in the center of the table…the kids will
love the close up view!
Around the
centerpiece on the table, add a small pile of sand, along with a
few real rocks.
Hang green
mottled gossamer vines and butterflies overhead in the area
where the children will enter the party. To create gossamer
“vines”, simply hang a piece of lightweight gossamer overhead,
and cut it into ragged strips of varying lengths. You can easily
carry this decoration inside the house by hanging vines from
doorframes. Green mottled gossamer is available from
Shindigz
Line the driveway and walkway leading to your door with
dinosaur footprints (available from
Shindigz).
Hang posters illustrating
various Dinosaurs on the walls.
Dinosaur Bones & Fossils
Make your very own dinosaur bones from cardboard tubes,
newspaper, water and flour. Crumble up some newspaper into balls
and tape to the ends of a small or large cardboard tubes. Make a
simple, thin glue from flour and water (boiling gives it a nice
consistency). Mix 1 cup of flour into 1 cup of water until the
mixture is thin and runny. Stir into 4 cups of boiling water.
Simmer for about 3 minutes, then cool. (You can make this glue
without cooking it, but it isn't as smooth that way.) Tear a lot
of strips of newspaper and/or brown bag paper. Strips should be
about 1 inch wide; the length doesn't really matter. Dip a
newspaper strip into the cooled glue, then wrap it around the
dinosaur bone. Cover the entire bone, then let it dry (it may
take a day or more to dry). When dry, paint the bone. You now
have a great dinosaur fossil!
A
Dinosaur Entrance, Standing Dinosaur Silhouettes Set/3, & Jeep are the ultimate dinosaur
party decorations. They will transport guests back in time, fill
a large space (indoors or outdoors), and provide a perfect photo
backdrop. The birthday child will also enjoy hours of
imaginative play with these props long after the party ends.
An
Inflatable Dinosaur is sure to
create a stir. They’re baaaack!
Tie bows with green mottled gossamer across the top of each chair back.
The bows can be cut to any length, and even look great with
tails trailing on the floor. Make bows to hang anywhere and
everywhere…stair rails, deck posts or gift packages. The
gossamer also looks terrific covering a cake board, or as a
cover for the food table. Green mottled gossamer is available
from
Shindigz
