A Roaring Dinosaur Birthday Party

Dinosaur Birthday Party

“RAWR! Did I scare you?!” he said. I’ve heard this countless times from my son.

He’s been obsessed with dinosaurs for over a year. I know this phase will probably pass in a year or two therefore this year’s birthday party theme is all about dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs might not be the prettiest animal out there but my boys sure love to play with them and ask for new dinosaur toys every time we pass by the toy section in Target. Whether your kids watch Dinosaur shows or just love dinosaurs because they’re cool (yes, they’re super cool) we’ve got dinosaur party ideas for you. From the birthday outfit to the favors, we’ve scoured Amazon and found the best items for your dinosaur party!

Dress to Impress (your little birthday guests):

Get your birthday boy or girl into character. There are so many cool options for shirts, costumes, pajamas, and masks that are dinosaur-themed. If you’re that parent that goes the extra mile, you MUST buy and wear the infamous orange dinosaur costume that you see Youtubers wear in their videos. Consider asking your little guests to wear something dinosaur-themed.

Table:

If the majority of your guests are under the age of 10 years old, then paper plates are probably the better option instead of real plates. Cartoon dinosaurs or real-looking dinosaurs? The choice is yours, there are plenty of dinosaur plate options to choose from. Don’t forget the napkins, utensils, and cups!

Centerpieces:

Creating a simple or elaborate centerpiece is up to you but have you seen these cool items you can add to a centerpiece: dinosaur figurines, dinosaur pop-up decoration and palms leaves (to set the jungle vibe). Sometimes a cool tablecloth can be better than a centerpiece.

Food:

Dino shaped PB & J sandwiches, dino shaped mac and cheese, dino waffles, dino sugar cookies, snacks in palm leaf plates, like how cool does all of this sound?!

Add some fun:

Almost all kids love to get dirty. How cool will it be to hide dinosaur bones for you guests to find around the yard or house?

Favors:

How to say thank you to your little guests? Favors are the best way. Give your guests something to remember this fun day. Fill goody bags with dinosaur eggs, dinosaur lollipops, dinosaur rings and dino masks.

Entertainment:

As scary as some dinosaurs may look, you can make them fun.  Some cool games are dino cornhole, dinosaur darts, pin the tail on the dinosaur, or dino shooting.

Backdrop:

Creating a focal backdrop for your dinosaur event has become easier than ever. You can hang a banner, streamers, or a cool backdrop from a stand, curtain rod or hard surface (don’t forget to buy some command strips). Add some palm leaves or signs.

Balloons:

Balloons are essential to any party. Whether it is a simple large dinosaur balloon or a cool balloon garland, you can’t go wrong. Never made a balloon garland before, read through our simple balloon garland instructions.
