Jurassic Park Inspired Birthday Party

We recently celebrated my son's birthday and did so with a Jurassic Park inspired party. My previous post shares how I created his dinosaur piñata and now I will share the highlights of what I put together for his party.

I used the palm trees from his pirate party from a few years back.

Created these badges for the kids which they all loved!

Using chalk I free hand drew these dino images on our fence.

I create this piñata from scratch and you can see how here.

Made his t-shirt using some images I found online.

Make sure you wash the chalk off asap or may be tough to get off.

Placed ferns throughout the house with some sneaky snakes.

All the hats I found at the Dollar Store which was great.

The fence dinosaurs also served as targets for the water balloons.

I also used some construction items we had around the house left over from our pool installation (that is another post that is coming up) such as a skid and metal pole that I used for the East Dock display. I also reused some false greenery that I has left over from some other parties all over the place and I sadly forgot to take pictures of the food table, cake or loot bags...oh well.

Overall, it certainly had the Jurassic feel but more importantly the birthday boy absolutely loved it all. He was so excited to see everything and didn't want to take his hat or badge off...I believe he would have slept in them if we let him. The best part of it all was his smile and our family who were what really made the day special. Happy Birthday little man...you are amazing!
