Dinosaur Party Decorations

For our dinosaur birthday party, I wanted decorations that were easy to create and made a BIG impact. I loved how it turned out!

I made these jungle leaves from card stock paper. The process was so simple!

  • Fold the paper in half.
  • Cut half of a heart shape, just like you’re making a paper heart.
  • Cut triangles on the side.
  • Unfold. Hole punch if needed.

You can also buy big jungle leaves on Amazon if you don’t want to make your own!

We used different shades of green, orange, and black for decoration. I grabbed some plates, tablecloths, balloons, and napkins from Dollar Tree for a steal! Use big sheets of colored tissue paper to add layers to your table setting.

My son loved the giant T-rex backdrop. Grab yours on Amazon!

Dinosaur Party Food

These dinosaur birthday party cupcakes were the star of the show. My mother-in-law whipped up a batch of her famous chocolate cupcakes, added chocolate icing on top and sprinkled them with crushed Oreo cookies. I grabbed this big bucket of tiny toy dinosaurs and put one dino on top of each cupcake.

Here’s the birthday boy!

We had “dino bones” pretzels, and “dino tracks” sugar cookies!

To make your own sugar cookies, just use your favorite sugar cookie recipe (or do it the easy way with store-bought dough!).

Bake as directed, then use a toy dinosaur to stamp a footprint in each cookie. Let the cookies cool one minute after baking before stamping for best results!
