As a gift for my mother and mother-in-law, who have been begging me to send them some pictures from Matthew’s b-day party, I’m going to share some pictures with you as a little sneak peek for them (though I really don’t have that many more). Matthew loves dinosaurs; more than any talking he makes a “raaaawlr” sound every.single.minute, so I knew he would enjoy a small birthday party built around the dinosaur theme.
As far as decor resources here in The Island, you can imagine they are close to zero, so I had to be very creative and crafty. I got some really cool dinosaur head eggs (they look like these) while I was in Florida just before Easter, and hid them around for the kids to find. I made some dinosaur footprints to stick on the walls and I made a dinosaur footprint stencil and spray painted the grass (I was inspired by this). I also got a little creative with the food signs and I’m sure the older kids appreciated them.
