Decorations

Use appliance boxes to cut out several different types of large dinosaurs for the party room, including a T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, etc. Alternatively, have the cardboard boxes available in the party area along with craft supplies for the party guests to decorate when they arrive.

Make a "Dino Crossing" sign as a welcome for the party guests.

Cut dinosaur footprints from brown paper and place them all over the house or yard. You can also have them lead up to your doorstep, or even use colored chalk to draw monster-size footprints. Get the whole family to smudge their hand and footprints on paper and hang it up all over the house.

Inflate green, orange, and brown balloons and twist streamers together for added dino decor.

Most party stores will have dino-themed party supplies for your table, but you could also mix it up with solid colors that you decide upon. Another option: buy a plain white tablecloth and stencil dinos on it. Provide crayons at the party table and have the kids add to the scene as well.

Cover your party table with dino confetti, small dino bones, and dino gummy candies.

Create a jungle effect by bunching large household plants together and/or hanging green streamers together.

Play a Dino Rock CD for atmosphere.
