Listen, when I’m President, I promise to launch a team to investigate the price of fake palm leaves. They look good though so all’s well that looks well.

I made the banner in on the window with footprint cut-outs from Hobby Lobby. I punched holes in them and strung them on twine and it did a body good.

My very first idea for this party was this centerpiece! I saw large dino claws at Big Lots and found them on Amazon cheaper. Those can be purchased here. I was envisioning a dinosaur coming out of the table. I layered palm leaves around the claws and used my son’s Halloween costume mask from 2 years ago in the center. I used a glass bowl and purchased a small mist maker here to make him light up and smoke. I hope this makes your dreams come true like it did mine.

I found this Pteranodon blow up on Amazon when looking for dinosaurs I could hang from the ceiling. I think it is technically for pools, but he has a hole in his head for hanging so one can’t be too sure. You can find him here.

I found this big ole’ fish net and the garland of leaves in the party section at Hobby Lobby. It got the job done and covered a lot of space for just two pieces. I also promise to investigate the cost of decorative fish nets as your president.

The best ever party hack is to buy a pre-made cake and decorate it with candy and crap you already have at home. I literally took a 16 dollars Sam’s Club and start to finish did this cake in under 10 minutes. Now that’s a win.

Breaking news, these are NOT real rocks! These are chocolate boulders that I bought from Candy Craze at our mall. Ere’body thought I put actual rocks on the cake. No, son.

The Dollar Tree has bags of dragon egg gumballs and since no dragon experts were coming to my son’s party, I used them as dino eggs and stuck a T-Rex head out of the middle of the bowl for good measure.

Okay, actually the dino head in the gumballs was actually the lid to the tube that these little dinosaurs came in from Target. Everybody got dino eggs, a mini dino, and a slime volcano with dinosaur as seen below.

I found these gel/slime dino volcanoes in the summer section at Kroger for two dollars each. It was like the party gods shined down and said, “Here girl, take these.”

You know I love to cut edges into my plastic party tablecloths. I made this one really jagged in the spirit of Jurrasic World.

I had 100 water balloons, dinosaurs set up for water gun shooting, and an 18 foot water like thingy all set up. It was sunny alll day, until the party. We got to have fun for 12 minutes though so take that thunder time.

I hope you like this simple Jurrasic World shabang. Pin, share, enjoy! Follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for a good ole’ time.
