Looking for a prehistoric party theme that will wow kids? Transport guests to the age of the mighty dinosaurs with decorations that bring the Jurassic era to life. Your little explorers will go wild for these dino-mite ideas!
Dino Decor for a Roaring Good Time
The Ultimate Dino Den
The centre piece for your dinosaur party is the perfect dinosaur hideaway. Pitch a big green tent or make a fort out of big cardboard boxes painted with earthy tones. Cover the tent or fort with plastic dinosaur figures, dinosaur footprint stickers, and leafy vines. Fill it with blankets, pillows, and stuffed dino toys for kids to cozy up in their own Jurassic lair!
Fossil Dig Decoration
Let kids get hands-on by creating a dino dig decoration. Fill a plastic kiddie pool or large storage tub with brown printed fabric and bury plastic dinosaur figures and “fossils” (like small rocks and shells) in the fabric for little paleontologists to excavate.
Volcano Eruption Backdrop
Construct a towering volcano backdrop out of chicken wire and papier-mâché for a dramatic photo op. Paint the volcano black, and add splashes of red and orange around the crater to mimic hot, bubbling lava. Use a log or two and some green vines around the base.
Dino Eats and Treats
Feed your party animals dino shaped snacks, candies that continue the dinosaur theme.
Dino Bones
Make “dinosaur bone” breadstick treats by pulling apart rope-shaped breadsticks and arranging them in piles on platters. Serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Fossil Cookies
Use clean plastic dinosaur figures to make footprint impressions in rounds of sugar cookie dough before baking. Or make salt dough fossils by pressing toy dinosaurs into flattened balls of salt dough to leave behind authentic-looking prints.
Prehistoric Punch
Mix up a bright green punch and call it “Swamp Juice” or “Radioactive Ooze.” Rim the cups with green sanding sugar for a fun surprise!
With savory and sweet dinosaur foods, epic decorative displays, and prehistoric activities, your little explorers will have a roaring good time at this dino birthday bash!
