Dino Egg Hunt
A Dino egg hunt is a fun twist on the classic Easter egg hunt. You can fill plastic eggs with small toys or candy, and then hide them around your party space. To make the game more challenging, you can create a scavenger hunt with clues leading to each egg's location. You can also use a mix of different sized eggs, and award different prizes for finding the biggest or smallest eggs.

Prehistoric party favors are a great way to thank your guests for coming and make sure they remember your party. Some ideas include dinosaur plushies, temporary tattoos, stickers, mini dinosaur figures, and dinosaur-themed candy. You can package these in a goodie bag or box, or present them as prizes for winning party games.
Dino Cake
A dino cake is a great centerpiece for your party. There are many ways to make a dinosaur cake, such as a cake in the shape of a dinosaur or cupcakes decorated with dinosaur toppers. You can also make a volcano cake with a dinosaur figure emerging from it. If you're not confident in your cake decorating skills, you can order a custom cake from a local bakery or online.
Dinosaur Decorations
Dinosaur decorations will set the tone for your party and make your guests feel like they're in a prehistoric world. Hang paper lanterns in the shape of dinosaur eggs or create a dinosaur balloon arch. You can also use green and brown streamers to create a jungle-like atmosphere, or add some dinosaur cutouts to the walls.
Jurassic Snacks

Jurassic snacks are a fun way to incorporate the dinosaur theme into your party food. Make some dinosaur footprint cookies by cutting out cookie dough with a dinosaur-shaped cookie cutter and pressing a toy dinosaur into the dough. Create a herbivore veggie platter with broccoli, carrots, and celery. Make T-Rex tacos with taco shells shaped like dinosaur feet, and add some "lava" guacamole. And for a fun drink, make some "lava punch" with red punch and dry ice for a smoky effect.
DIY Dino Dig
A DIY dino dig station is a great way to keep your guests entertained and engaged. Hide plastic dinosaur bones in a sandbox or sensory bin, and provide tools for digging and brushing away the dirt. You can also add some rocks and other fossils to make the dig more realistic. You can also include a poster or booklet with information about the different types of dinosaurs and their bones.
Dinosaur Movie Night
A dinosaur movie night is a great way to wind down after a long day of partying. Some popular options include Jurassic Park, The Land Before Time, and Dinosaur. Create a cozy movie-watching area with blankets and pillows, and provide some dinosaur-themed snacks like popcorn with dinosaur sprinkles.
Dinosaur Dress-Up

Dinosaur dress-up is a fun way to get your guests involved in the theme. Encourage your guests to dress up in dinosaur costumes or dinosaur-themed clothing. You can provide some DIY costume accessories like paper dinosaur tails or headbands with spikes. You can also have a costume contest with prizes for the most creative and realistic costumes.
Paleontologist Part
A paleontologist party is a great way to combine science and fun. Set up a "dig site" where guests can excavate their own fossils and learn about how paleontologists study dinosaurs. You can also have a paleontology quiz with questions about different types of dinosaurs and their fossils. And for a fun snack, make some "dirt cups" with chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos, topped with gummy dinosaur fossils.
Dino Photo Booth

You can also print out some dinosaur-themed frames or borders for guests to use when they share their photos.
Dino Science Experiments
Dino science experiments are a fun and educational activity for kids. You can create a volcano experiment with baking soda and vinegar, or make some "fossil rocks" with plaster and toy dinosaurs. You can also have a "dinosaur toothbrush challenge" where guests try to clean "dinosaur teeth" (made out of corn on the cob holders) as fast as they can.
Dino Piñata
A dino piñata is a classic party game that never gets old. Fill a dinosaur-shaped piñata with small toys and candy, and let your guests take turns trying to break it open. You can also make a piñata out of paper mache and paint it to look like a dinosaur.
