30 DIY Dinosaur Party Ideas You Can Make At Home

February 10, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

Dinosaurs are such a classic theme when it comes to Birthday parties, I think there is one point in every child’s life when they LOVE dinosaurs.  Both my children went through these phases but never seemed to be picked as a party theme, which is a shame as I would have loved to given it a go. I love creating my own decorations and party themes, I have collected this massive set of dinosaur-themed links for you so that you can create your own DIY Dinosaur party.

Some of my cheat party ideas are to buy large decor items that will help theme the party room, for example, I am a huge fan or large party banners and party backdrops, here are some Dinosaur Party Backdrops I found on Amazon, these are great behind a food table or used as an entrance. You can even get customized ones with your child’s name on them.

And my favorite setup is this pack of supplies for under $30

The best thing about a Dinosaur party is you can involve dirt and leaves, trim some branches and load them into pots for greenery around your party area, and if you are cutting your own branches then these DIY decorations are free. Free party decorations are the best party decorations, especially if you are trying to create a dinosaur party on a budget.

Cute Father’s Day Crafts Kids Can Make

Last year I wrote a bunch of posts around things to make for Father’s Day, from printables to hand print crafts and other crafts. But in case you need yet more ideas here are some more Father’s Day crafts that kids can make.

I’m not a fan of cliche Father’s Day gifts using tie motifs, fishing, grilling and the like, but if the dad in your life does happen to enjoy grilling, this painted grill caddy from Sustain My Craft Habit is a fun option. Buy a plain wooden caddy and kids can paint and decorate it to enjoy all summer long.

Picture frames and holders are always a great option. I love this painted rock and bead photo holder from Buggy and Buddy. Kids can paint the rock and string the beads, and choose a photo of themselves to put on the holder.

I also like this salt dough picture frame from The Soccer Mom Blog. It’s made in the shape of the word dad with holes in the letters for photos, but you could use the same idea to make a heart or another shape if you don’t need three openings.

Speaking of salt dough, of course you can use it for all sorts of crafts. Handprint and footprint crafts are lots of fun as a keepsake, and if your littles still have tiny feet, this salt dough footprint craft from Roaming Rosie is a fun project. Or make a bigger stepping stone footprint or handprint project with a stepping stone kit. I Watch Them Grow has the tutorial.

If your older kids are into string art, you can make a Dad themed project like this one from DIYnThings. If you don’t want to spell out dad, you can make a heart shape or some other symbol of your relationship with the dad in question. (Jump to about 1:53 in the video for this tutorial, or watch the whole thing for more crafty Father’s Day ideas.)

I also love this quick and easy building blocks gift from The Seasoned Mom. It gets kids thinking about things they love to do with dad, and offers options of things they can do together if they can’t think of what they want to do some future weekend.
