A dinosaur theme for a birthday party gives so many opportunities to use unique decorations and have some wild activities and games. There are so many unique ways to use standard decor like trees, jungle plants and balloon arches to make an entire themed environment. We want to share some of our favorite decorating ideas and supplies.
Decorations
Balloons
There are so many creative ideas for how to use balloons to enhance your party into an immersive setting. You could use a red balloon arch to simulate lava flowing out of a volcano, blue balloons for underwater Jurassic dinosaurs, or green balloons for a forest or jungle setting.
