A 3-Rex Is Lurking! 3rd Dinosaur Party

We were so excited for this party!
Our little guy is a total 3 REX so, we knew there was no better theme to fit him during this wonderful stage!

All printables were designed and created by me, including the awesome, uber loved custom placemats!

The kids LOVED having their own food pack pre-made and ready to eat once they arrived! Each food box included:
-T Rex Meat (Tyson Dino nuggets) labeled in a glassine bag
-Herbivore Snacks (Carrots in a kraft paper pillow box)
-Grapes and Strawberries on a stick
-Rock Candy
-Ranch Dip
-Ketchup
and a Dino tattoo

I left the boxes open so the littles knew what was in them upon arriving and didn't have to struggle with untying twine!

A favorite from the party for ALL of the kids (ages 3 to 9) was the DIY Dinosaur Terrarium activity! It cost a total of $8 for 8 kids to create and take home a terrarium!
Glass Orb Vases (Hobby Lobby 50% off)
Moss, Soil, and Rocks (Dollar Tree)
1 Pack miniature Dinosaurs (Party City/Oriental Trading)

It was a total last minute thought and I am SO glad we did it! ALL of the kids seriously enjoyed it!

Another favorite, right off the bat was our DIG ZONE! I created TONS of fossils with 2 tubs of Crayola air dry clay! I made some large and thick and some small! There were dinosaur teeth, claws, tails, and bones and each of the kids had a custom excavation kit which included a fossil brush, magnifying glass, fossil collection pouch, custom Dig Team excavation hat, and paleontologist tool belt! We bought fresh sand and laid the fossils in right before everyone arrived! It was a huge success and surprisingly, none of the fossils broke!

This was our most successful party yet and we can't wait to start planning the next!

Happy party planning!
