Dinosaur Party Decoration
Decorating for a party doesn’t have to blow your family budget, and with some careful usage of craft supplies, you can create anything you want.
A vibrant table backdrop has been created using simply crepe paper streamers and the use of tissue paper to make hanging garlands. These combined help to create a wonderful scene and is easy for anyone to recreate.
Gemma completed her dinosaur playground with some cardboard dinosaur cut outs, and foot prints on the ground.
Dinosaur Party Food
It’s always great to see how creative people can be with their party food tables.
This food table was made exciting by simple things such as mini vinyl dinosaurs on top of the cupcakes and in the middle of the melon volcano; tiny dinosaur footprint cookies, and of course a delicious home made dinosaur cake.
Everyone commented on how adorable the dinosaur footprint cookies were. If you would like to make them yourself, then you will find this dinosaur cookie tutorial useful.
An effective table display has been put together by simply using a few items that any busy mom can put together.
Dinosaur Party Favors & Games
I love how the party favors were also used as party decoration, and the kids got to take home two favor gifts.
All the kids were given a bubble wand from the prehistoric volcano and dinosaur feet to enable their own dinosaur stomping!
Simple but fun favors that everyone loved.
A fantastic Dino-roar target game was set up, where the kids could throw balls through the dinosaurs mouths. These kind of games are always going to be a winner with the kids.
Thanks for sharing the party with us Gemma!
