Dinosaur Party

Themes & Decorations

Table

Choose a colour from the theme and cover the table in a large tablecloth.
Have a Dinosaur Plate, Dinosaur Hat, Dinosaur Napkin, Dinosaur Cup and Dinosaur Loot Bag for each guest at the table.
Cover the party table with crepe paper and decorate with items from the garden, such as pebbles, fern leaves, small and large leaves. Some green streamers hanging from the ceiling will complete the look.
Make sure each guest has a Dinosaur Party Placemat.

Change the look of your entrance or hall way draping dark sheets along walls to create a cave effect. Cover any windows with dark sheets or dark cardboard, and stick some old branches or leaves here and there to complete the look.
Decorate with balloons in greens, browns and yellows for an earthy dinosaur look.
Decorate your path and entrance with large dinosaur footprints using chalk or coloured paper or cardboard.
Add a “ Happy Birthday” Banner to finish.

Hide chocolate eggs of all sizes for a Dinosaurus Egg Hunt.
Play “Pin the Tail on the Dinosaur”, or “Tack the Tooth on the Dinosaur”.
Get guests to decorate hard boiled eggs in a Dinosaur theme. You will need plenty of coloured pens for this (perhaps the invites could suggest they bring their own).
Dinosaur egg and spoon races – children carry their decorated boiled egg on a spoon in a race with other guests (or use plain hard boiled eggs if there might be tears if their ‘dinosaur’ breaks!) Use a streamer as the finish line.
Play “ Pass the Parcel” with sweets in between each layer, and make sure each child gets a turn.

Birthday cake suggestion

For a simple cake, try adding a Dinosaur Icing Plaque to a round, square or rectangular cake (18cm or 7’or larger), which has been iced with pale green or chocolate icing. Add dinosaur lollies around the edges, and finish with candles to complete the look.
Chicken nibbles and dipping sauce (kids love barbecue or plain sauce with these).
Mini sandwiches cut into dinosaur shapes.
Mint leaves lollies.
Sandwiches filled with marmite or chocolate (dirt sandwiches!)
Spare ribs and tomato or barbecue sauce (Tex Rex Ribs).
Miniature burgers (Carnivores Delights).
Meat-o-saurus Meatballs
Truffles or Lolly Cake (Rock Cakes)
White chocolate chunks (Dinosaur teeth).
