The paper dinosaur masks
The polka dot party hats
The chocolate dipped Rice Krispie treat pops

This is what Erin said about planning the party- “I created this party for my son when he turned 2…I can’t believe my baby is 2 years old. I like to use party planning as a distraction from being sad that my kids are growing up. It worked, because the party was a blast!
I used my DinoMite Dinosaur Party Printables to set the theme for the party…and that’s pretty much all I used for the decor! I used a cake stand I already had and apothecary jars from every other party I do (because they’re beautiful and awesome). The cute green basket is from Hobby Lobby for $2.50. Besides that…it was all printables and therefore, super cute and super cheap.
I suck at baking (like really suck) so I made something that even I couldn’t screw up: chocolate dipped rice krispie treats and brownies. PS these brownies are the best ever! My sister-in-law, Hilary made the cupcakes and they were so yummy!
My favorite thing was the super adorable party masks! The kids were a little reluctant at first, but Granddad put one on and the rest is history. They LOVED these masks and party hats! Sure, Riley thought it was an alligator, but the point is…they had fun!
You can purchase the DinoMite Printables on my Website or from my Etsy Shop.
This party was so special to me because it’s my last one before I move away from my family. I’m not moving far, but I’ll miss having Hilary as my photographer (I’m designing her website, so you’ll see it soon!) and cake decorator and having my niece and nephew help me eat all my sweets! It was so fun and I’m so glad I decided to throw one last shindig!”

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!”

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!”
