DINOSAUR PARTY IDEAS FOR COSTUMES

Ask guests to wear dinosaur costumes or transform them into little dinos as they arrive with pre-made costumes made from hooded sweat shirts or hooded sweat shirts and sweat pants.

Cut triangles from felt. Glue together in overlapping fashion to create scales. Sew strip of scales to front of sweatshirt. If it's warm, then cut off sleeves.

To make hood and back spikes, cut small to larger triangles from felt and glue lower sides of triangles together to create a "cone." Fill with batting, rags, recycled plastic bags, etc. Sew small spikes to hood and larger ones to back. Make a long pointy felt cone (tail), stuff, and sew to bottom of sweatshirt or back of pants.

• Create dino footprints from the driveway to the front door.

• Make a sign that says "Welcome To (Birthday Name's) Jurassic Jungle" and hang on front door.

• Enclose the ceiling with streamers. Hang them generously from center of ceiling to all edges of the room. Add clusters of balloons and curling ribbons around room.

• Hang fishnet on ceiling and attach at all four corners of room. Fill with light blue and white balloons to create a sky or use brown, black, and gray balloons to create a cave-like atmosphere.

• Decorate archways or doorways with streamers.

• Hang posters and/or pictures of dinosaurs on walls or hang a huge dinosaur mural that would transform your party room walls to Dino Land.

• Hang green sheets on the walls to create the backdrop.

• Add a large inflatable dinosaur to a barren corner or create a great photo op area that brings Jurassic Park alive.

• Cover tables with dark green or black tablecloth and tie corners with coordinating curling ribbon.

• Use dinosaur themed plates, cups, napkins, tablecloth, centerpiece, party hats, and wall cutouts to transform your dining room into a dinosaur extraordinaire.
