6 Terrific Dinosaur Birthday Party Ideas

Make Dinosaur Party Hats

Hats off to Wants & Wishes for creating these spiky party hats for a dinosaur birthday party. They say "Rawr means Happy Birthday in Dinosaur." If that's so, then these hats are rawr-some, for sure. 

Create a Roar-some Backdrop

Michele, of The Scrap Shoppe Blog, created this cool balloons-and-cardboard-dinosaur display to serve as the Jurassic backdrop for the food table at her son's dinosaur birthday bash. Drop by to check out all of her dinosaur-themed food ideas, including dino-shaped sandwiches and a volcano topped birthday cake. 

Dig for Dinos

We're not sure which is more fun; the dino dig activity, itself, or these cool tools Deb from Learn With Play at Home gave out for kids to use as they scoured the sandbox. 

When it comes to dinosaur party games, it's hard to top the dino dig. Set up your own by burying toy bones, wrapped candy treats, or a variety of trinkets in the sand, so kids can enjoy a little paleontology role-play. You could even have a few sandboxes placed around the yard and combine your dinosaur dig with a scavenger hunt game. 

Serve Molten Lava Cakes

Are you looking for a cool dinosaur-themed party dessert? These Molten Lava Volcano cakes from the Wants & Wishes dinosaur party can stand alone as the king of the dessert table, or you could use them to complement a dino birthday cake. Either way, they are sure to please all of the cake-i-vores at your event. 

Give Out Dino Jar Favors

Sarah of Create Studio shares how to turn ordinary jars into extraordinary dinosaur party favors. You can use just about any size or type of jar to make these, and fill them with goodies such as candy, stickers, trinkets or little toy dinosaurs.
