A month or so back I helped with a dinosaur themed party. I have lots of finished details I'll share in another post, but here is some of the prep. I made a shirt using my cricut machine and some iron on vinyl. The nice thing about the dinosaur is you could print out a design from online and lay vinyl over and cut it out and make your own without a machine. I also made a welcome sign for the door using one of the dinosaur metal cut outs I found at Hobby Lobby. They had two different designs and I grabbed it when it was half off. Again, I added a vinyl message that I'm pealing off...a ribbon and a bow to greet guest.
There are several different activities, but one that was age appropriate, and seasonal (though I thing you can get away with this all year) was an egg hunt....a DINOSAUR egg hunt. I ordered the fillers from Oriental Trading. I found a couple coupons by searching online so I got 10 dollars off my order and free shipping. I ordered some eggs with puppets inside (it was the same cost with or without the eggs for these puppets). I also ordered stamps, gummies, erasers, stickers, foam stickers, and 144 different shades of green eggs (they have a ton of different colors).
I also made a banner-modeling it after a bunch I saw online.
I just looked up a skull outline, printed it and then placed my paper behind it and cut. I free handed a tail and then made little banners with her name spelled across it.
More details to come...
