Party hats is a super cute idea</p> <p>@psw27: I love the reptile idea. Probably not in the cards for this year but I’ll have to keep it in mind. </p> <p>@azaela: that cake sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885968 Wed, 29 May 2019 12:35:21 +0000 azaela 2885968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a dinosaur theme recently and I did a dino dig cake. With white chocolate dinosaur bones and crushed Oreos for dirt. It was a huge hit and I've never seen kids so excited for the cake.<br /> I just did plush dinos for favors ordered in bulk from Amazon. Ours was outside the house so I planned no activities or anything. I saw some cute dino masks and love the idea of the eggs that the kids "excavate" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885966 Wed, 29 May 2019 12:23:21 +0000 Petitduck 2885966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: just take a bit of prep and that was it. My kids are 3.5 and 2 and the first time we did them they spent over half an hour doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885962 Wed, 29 May 2019 11:57:46 +0000 psw27 2885962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done these:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dig-It-Up-Dinosaur-Eggs/dp/B01ASBOQQY" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Dig-It-Up-Dinosaur-Eggs/dp/B01ASBOQQY</a></p> <p>They are a little messy and you have to remember to pre-soak them so the kids can chisel the toy out but even my super hyper 4 year old will do those for 15-20 minutes per egg. </p> <p>A little more extravagant but my friend had a dinosaur party for her son and she found a company to bring all sorts of reptiles out to their house! The kids loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885928 Wed, 29 May 2019 09:13:38 +0000 josina 2885928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is obsessed with dino's so I've done 2 dino parties already. </p> <p>I saved these but haven't used them - free dinosaur mask templates: <a href="https://www.itsybitsyfun.com/dinosaur-masks.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.itsybitsyfun.com/dinosaur-masks.html</a></p> <p>Super cute/easy dessert - brownies with white frosting painted on to look like fossils. </p> <p>Cake was chocolate frosting with crunched up chips ahoy to look like dirt - Small dino's make great cake toppers. </p> <p>I used DS's toy-dinos to as balloon weights. One year I made mini-party hats for the dino's, super cute and easy.</p> <p>Dinosaur deviled eggs - slightly crack the eggs and soak them in dye before making the deviled eggs, makes them look like dino eggs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885900 Wed, 29 May 2019 06:36:50 +0000 LadyDi 2885900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Thanks for the links, very much appreciated!</p> <p>@yin: Oooo thank you!

The parts that stuck out to me were</p> <p>- Dino chicken nuggets, always a hit<br /> - This sprinkler, the kids loved it!! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BigMouth-Ginormous-Inflatable-Dinosaur-Sprinkler/dp/B078TKXWGN" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/BigMouth-Ginormous-Inflatable-Dinosaur-Sprinkler/dp/B078TKXWGN</a><br /> - The party favors were candy and little toy/stickers in spotted easter eggs. It might be late to find them on clearance, but I thought this was brilliant.</p> <p>ETA: Oh, and she had drawn big dino footprints in chalk on the driveway and sidewalk leading up to the door. My son thought that was amazing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885837 Tue, 28 May 2019 14:31:12 +0000 poppygirl15 2885837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our neighbor did this for her son and they did two super cute activities. First, she got some dinosaur eggs and let each kid break it open. <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Dino-Egg-Dig-Kit-Archaeology/dp/B07H9GY33H/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13UBZ4HP2BMF3&#038;keywords=dinosaur+eggs&#038;qid=1559071753&#038;s=gateway&#038;sprefix=dinosaur+eggs%2Caps%2C236&#038;sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/Dino-Egg-Dig-Kit-Archaeology/dp/B07H9GY33H/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13UBZ4HP2BMF3&#038;keywords=dinosaur+eggs&#038;qid=1559071753&#038;s=gateway&#038;sprefix=dinosaur+eggs%2Caps%2C236&#038;sr=8-3</a><br /> Next, she sent groups on different scavenger hunts for "fossils." They found a shallow box (think shirt box) filled with sand and hidden in it were 3-D dinosaur puzzles. The kids then worked together to put the dino puzzles together.https://smile.amazon.com/iBuy365-Wooden-Simulation-Dinosaur-Assembly/dp/B01HJT70R0/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1O8CQHXFRNNP0&amp;keywords=3-d+dinosaur+puzzles&amp;qid=1559071856&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=3-d+di%2Caps%2C325&amp;sr=8-3</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885836 Tue, 28 May 2019 14:22:12 +0000 Ajsmommy 2885836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute. I'll have to follow bc DS loves dino's so I might be doing one of these someday.</p> <p>I'd probably go the route of making up names for some snack type stuff..<br /> "dino bones" for pretzels<br /> "Herbivore salad" for a fruit plate/salad<br /> "Carnivore meatballs"<br /> "Dino eggs" for grapes or cheeseballs or something round<br /> "Raptor raisins"<br /> "T Rex tortilla chips and salsa"<br /> "Brontosaurus burgers"<br /> "lava juice" </p> <p>I saw once a CUTE idea. Sugar cookies with footprints pressed in them and they were "Fossil Cookies"</p> <p>ETA: and how could I forget the "dino chicken nuggets" we get these from wegmans!<br /> ETAA: and I'd probably do a green/brown color scheme and if I had a sandbox I'd bury bones in it for the kids to dig and find... or maybe I'd do a scavenger hunt type thing ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinosaur-birthday-ideas#post-2885835 Tue, 28 May 2019 14:15:51 +0000 LadyDi 2885835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is turning 4 at the end of June and wants to have a Dino party at our house. There will be 7 kids between ages of 1.5-5. Does anyone have any simple Dino activities, decor, favor, or food ideas??? I get overwhelmed looking at Pinterest. If the weather is nice we’re going to borrow a small bounce house from my neighbor and we’ll have water balloons, so I don’t think we’ll need many other activities. </p>
