I don’t know what it is about dinosaurs but kids just go mad for them, so chances are at some stage you’ll be asked for a dinosaur themed party. The trick to throwing any themed party is in the details, and finding ways to do it affordably and even getting the kids involved. We have curated the most incredible dinosaur party ideas and put them in one handy place to ensure your next dinosaur is both amazing but also stress free!
Get the Dinosaur Party Started
Check out these cute and FREE dinosaur invitation printables from Halegrafx!
Dino Décor
Lead the way to your dinosaur party with some simple dinosaur footprints like these from Learn with Play at Home!
We also love these simple and fun dinosaur balloons found on eYe likes food!
Dressing Up
Let’s face it, the best thing about a dinosaur party for the little ones is dressing up like a dinosaur! We love these dinosaur tails seen on Catch My Party and the great idea of using them to create an awesome table setting!
We also love the idea of these dinosaur hats. These were found on Etsy but we think they would be really easy to recreate using patterned or just brightly coloured card.
And check out these awesome DIY dino feet found on babble!
Snackasaurus Treats
How cool are these dinosaur footprint fossil cookies? We found this great idea on Kara’s Party Ideas.
These great dinosaur bones were made by inspire co. from stick pretzels with marshmallows on the ends, dipped in which chocolate. Yum!

Healthy Dinosaur Party Snacks
For a healthy party treat, why not add these awesome ‘Herbivore Cups’ as seen on Learn with Play at Home
We also love these simple yet fun ‘Dinosaur Spikes’ seen on Catch My Party.
And these ‘Frozen Dino Eggs’, also from Catch My Party. A great way to make fruit fun!
Dinosaur Fun
Why not set up a ‘Find the Dino Eggs’ party treasure hunt game? You could hide painted eggs, chocolate eggs or even favour-filled plastic eggs (these ones are from Amazon) all round your party venue for the party guests to uncover!
You could set up a game of ‘Dig for Bones’ with hidden dinosaurs in a sandpit that your little explorers have to find. Setting up some simple utensils like these on inspiredbyfamily.com will make the dig even more exciting!
Favours
These party favours from Catch My Party are really cool and a great way of upcycling old jars!
