Throw an Epic DIY Dinosaur Party! Craft Activities & Decor for Kids

Is your little one obsessed with prehistoric creatures? A dinosaur-themed party is a roaring good time, but what about the activities? Instead of just games, get crafty with your guests! A hands-on activity not only entertains but also leaves them with a fun, handmade party favour to take home.

We’ve put together some great ideas for a DIY dino party, from the invitations to the decorations, with a special focus on a creative craft station.

Setting the Scene:

  • Dino-mite Decorations: Use green, brown, and orange balloons to create a jungle feel. Add some faux leaves and vines.

  • Volcanic Treats: Serve "lava" punch (red cordial) and volcano-shaped cakes.

  • Fossil Fun: Hide small toy dinosaurs and bones in a sandbox for a mini excavation site.

The Main Event: The Craft Station

This is where the real fun begins! Set up a crafting table with air-dry clay. Air-dry clay is perfect for this as it’s mess-free, safe for kids, and doesn’t require an oven.

  1. Personalised Dino Magnets: Guests can shape small dinosaurs, add texture with a fork, and paint them when they’re dry.

  2. Fossilised Handprints: Have each child press their hand into a slab of clay to create a "fossil." This is a perfect keepsake!

  3. Hatching Dino Eggs: Create clay egg shapes and place a small toy dinosaur inside. The kids will love cracking them open to find their new friend.

Crafting not only sparks creativity but also provides a calming, screen-free activity that all kids (and parents!) will love.
