Dinosaur Adventure Party

I’m dying over this DINOSAUR ADVENTURE + PALEONTOLOGIST BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Cris McGrath of Crissy’s Crafts! Not a detail was left out when it came to this darling party! So many fabulous ideas!

Crissy said this about planning the party- “A dinosaur party that takes young paleontologists back to prehistoric time! This party is packed with fun activities that any Dino Hunter would love to dig in! The sweet table was turned into Jurassic Park by adding dinosaur figures, edible dinosaur eggs, silk leaves and pterodactyl pops.

Activities include a Dino Egg Hunt, Dino Dig and a Color a Dino Station. Dino Hunters were treated with a lunch that pleased carnivores and herbivores alike. They were served a fun plate with dino nuggets, broccoli(trees) and eggs(olives). Sweet treats included a Jurassic Park cake, dino egg pops, dino cookies, dino pretzels, pterodactyl chocolate pops and sweet popcorn.

The Dino Hunters were supplied with their own Dino Hunter hat, canteen, binoculars and egg hunt bag to explore and hunt the Dinosaur creatures and their eggs. After the hunt was over, our young paleontologists took home a dino-mite surprise goodie bag filled with prehistoric goodies. It was a Jurassic Journey that will please any boy and/or girl!”

Dinosaur Themed 4th Birthday Party

This adorable DINOSAUR THEMED FORTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Cristina Hermelin of Chic Up Your Party. I just love the design elements and colors used!

Here is what Cristina had to say about planning the party- “This was a Dinosaur Themed Party for Maximilian´s 4th birthday! It was an authentic paleontologic adventure filled with fun and many unique details. Max loves dinosaurs and his wish for his 4th birthday was a party with many dinosaurs and to have an explorer adventure with all his friends. All the details were based around the theme “ A Paleontologic Adventure” – personalized “explorer” tags were distributed to all the children as well as unique paleontologic brushes to create a one of a kind experience. To create a perfect setting a special sand pool was created were all the children could dig & discover for dinosaur fossils.

All styling was inspired by earth tones and vivid orange color, one of Max’s favorite colors. Having the invitation as inspiration every detail followed the same line, from the cake to the cookies to the table top painted with the same colors and with the same stripes. The decor details were based on nature and the outdoors, with wooden plates, cutlery and rustic cups and plants that served as the perfect setting for all the fresh veggies&fruits and delicious food.

And to top it all Max and his friends were on an adventure created especially for them by Pedaços de Aventura an adventure in Parque de Palmela in search of dinosaur eggs. A true paleontologic success!

A very special thank you to Catarina Zimbarra Photography for the most stunning photos and capturing all the details and Max´s happiness!”

Orange and Green Dinosaur 4th Birthday Party

What a fun take on a dinosaur party! This cute ORANGE & GREEN DINOSAUR 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Karolina of Karo’s Fun Land.

Karolina said- “I threw this Dinosaur Party to celebrate my twin nephew’s 4th birthday. Last year they were all about Toy Story. This year they’re more active, adventurous, and sooo loving dinosaurs. So I thought they were gonna love a dinosaur theme for their 4th birthday. Sure they did!!! My Inspiration for this party started with the color palette from the Anders Ruff dinosaur printable. I just simply love those happy and fun colors. From there I decided to put together a table with some fun themed treats which included green dinosaur rice krispies, bugles corn snacks simulating dinosaur toe nails, dino-mite jellos and vanilla cupcakes with dinosaur toppers from Edible Details. Yum Yum!! And because my nephews love balloons I included two giant orange balloons to the table decor. The kids looove them! For the centerpieces I just wanted to do something simple, but fun. I filled some jars with rocks, fake grass, and dinosaur figurines. They turned out T-Riffic!!!! The cake was also simple, but totally cool. I decorated a plain vanilla frosted cake with shredded coconut, and topped it with my nephew’s dinosaur toys which were wearing party hats. There were also dinosaur footsteps which directed thirsty guests to the dino-mite drink station. I definitely had the best time styling my nephew’s birthday party. They already named me as their official party planner WooHoo!! We totally had a blast and a roaring good time!!!!” VENDOR CREDITS:
