Here's a website I stumbled upon while looking for party ideas for my kids. They have a lot of great ideas for any type of kids' party you can think of! Great resource. http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com/html/dinosaur_parties_2...

Get green foam craft visors (any Michaels/Hobby Lobby etc will have them). Cut out circles (dino spots) and triangles (teeth) and buy googly eyes, let the kids make their own dianosaur hats:)

You might be able to find dino shaped cookie cutters and make cookies or rice crispie treats or jello jigglers.

Party City has been advertising all their tropical stuff on clearance. They might have a fake palm tree cheap and the grass skirts could be re-purposed as table covers or window treatments.

*Have the kids go on an archeological dig for dinosaur bones in the backyard.
*Make an outline of a dinosaur on a sheet cake, and then fill it in with green gummy candies.
*Find a way to demonstrate the size of some of the dinosaurs so the kids get an idea of the size.
*Supply paper and crayons or playdoh and have the kids create their own. Hang pics of dinosaurs for examples.

Food

Family Fun has a birthday party book for kids that I get at the library and it is very good. The library also has other childrens party books great place to get ideas. The book also has cake designs adn decoratoring ideas

Fun dino food:
Dino nuggets (Tyson)
salad
broccolli (little trees)
sugar cookies shaped like eggs

After looking at all these great ideas, I started to think how neat it would be when people come into the party. How about making some cutouts, of dinosaur feet? Then you could tape them to the floor, and guide people right into the area where the party will be. Hope you have fun, sounds like you will be "partying" a lot!!!

Go to the Dollar Tree and buy the big plastic shaped Dino's that they have and put them on various places throughout the party...Find a printable Dino online and then trace it onto cardboard and do cut-out Dinos....Try to see if you can find some Dino Cookie Cutters and make sandwiches into Dinos...Let the children color Dino prints outs, or they could draw their own Dinos on paper and decorate them...Have a Dino movie playing? Jurrasic Park? or Disney's Dino...Send out Invites that say "Get ready to have a ROARRRRRING time!.....draw some big foot prints that make look similar to those of a dino and tape them to the floor like Dinos have been roaming...Make up a Dino Dig tub...fill with some candy or rocks or something and hide little dinosaur figurines in the bottom and the kids can take them home as keepsakes.

Hope these ideas helped some!
