I can not believe it but it is almost time for the boys to go back to school. I decided to throw a dinosaur party before the Summer was over. It turned out really cute, with awesome food using the Kraft Dips. The children had so much fun and loved it!

Dinosaur Party Decorations

The backdrop is actually two curtains. I thought the colors went well with the theme. For the banner I cut it out of green card stock, then cut the dinosaurs and letters out of orange card stock. I doubled up the tape to make it more 3-d looking.

The files for the banner can be downloaded together in a ZIP file. You have the option to use the silhouette design if you own a silhouette or use the jpg, print and cut yourself. DOWNLOAD

Dinosaur Party Favors

I made dinosaur crayons to give out to all of the kids. I put the crayons in little boxes with some green grass. They work really well with the back to school theme, but would be great as favors for a dinosaur birthday party. Check out my post for a tutorial on how to make DIY Shaped Crayons. My other party favor was “dino repellent”, since every kid loves bubbles!

I was so happy to find the Kraft Dips ready to go at Walmart. They made preparing for this dinosaur party so much easier.

Along with their new packaging they also came out with new Green Onion Dip and Bacon and Cheddar Dip. I can not wait to try these!

I made herbivore cups by putting the dip in the bottom of the cup then adding carrots and celery. The new Kraft Green Onion Dip would be perfect for these.

I also made carnivore sandwiches. I made the sandwich with ham, cheese, and lettuce. Then used the dinosaur cookie cutter to cut the sandwiches.

My favorite food was the pasta raptor salad. It was made with the french onion dip, squash, zucchini and tomatoes. The Kraft Bacon and Cheddar Dip would make a really good pasta salad too. Just add cooked bacon crumble and cheddar cheese right before serving.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
