Tania’s son Kabir loves dinosaurs, so deciding who should roar at his birthday party was an easy decision. From T-Rex to Pterodactyls, this birthday party provided big dig fun for a happy little explorer.

For an invitation, Tania decided to go with an invite in green, blue and orange with silhouettes of dinosaurs on them. Along with the printed food labels, Tania also added the signs to indicate if it was a Sweetivore Dino Diet or Carnivore/Herbivore Diet.

If you love the polka dot burlap banner Tania used for her dessert table backdrop, she hand painted each circle with love. “The banner is pinned on the backdrop is made from foam and covered with a printed fabric. Would you believe me if I tell you that I used a shower curtain as my fabric!” What Tania really wanted were big round balloons for the party. Her challenge became finding a place that would inflate them, but they do make quite the statement! They look great next to framed prints of dinosaurs hanging on the sides of the dessert table.

Popcorn cones were the first items to go. “Looks like popcorn rates higher than the sweet stuff for toddlers. I had to refill each kid’s cone. I made these popcorn cones from thick cardstock paper and decorated with tiny dinos and sparkles.”

Each kid snacked on a cupcake with a bright blue or green tissue pom pom topper. But the green and blue jello were the kids favorites. Tania also prepared marshamllows sprinkled in blue and green sugar sprinkles.

Instead of buying the expensive milk bottles, Tania used Starbucks coffee bottles. “That meant my family had to drink lots of coffee in a short span of time.”

The crowd pleasing game of the day was an actual dino dig followed by an egg hunt! “I filled Kabir’s toy bins with play sand and lots of dinosaur skeletons. Got few shovels and stage was set for a fun Dino Dig. Kabir and I made these eggs from soil flour salt mixture, with a tiny dinosaur baby hiding in between the egg. Kids had as much fun breaking each egg to find these dinos, as they had hunting for these.”

Each kid got his/her own paper dinosaur waiting for them at the activity table. From coloring books to ‘make your own dinosaur’ with stamping inks, fuzzies and crayons, there was an fun for all the dinos! “Surprisingly, kids spent a lot of time here, and made amazing art work.”

What dino party would be complete without evidence of finding these extinct creatures? Tania made a photo booth complete with masks, dino noses and tails for the kids to use. How cute!

The goodie bags were Tania’s favorite project for the party. She created a personalized bag for each child with the silhouette of a dinosaur on it. Ready made hats were embellished further with printed paper and pom poms. “Kabir chose and stuck the pom poms on each hat for his friends.”
