Becky here! I wanted to share with you details from my son’s recent 6th birthday party and our newest Dino-Dig design. Sam has always loved playing in the sand and dirt, like most kids. So we figured a Dino-Dig themed party would be perfect for his 6th birthday and he happily agreed. Anders Ruff already had a great Dinosaurs<\/a> themed collection in the shop, so I modified it to be a Dino-Dig theme with different colors and dinosaur skeletons.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
We woke up to a little rain but by party time it was sunny, thankfully! We had a number of activities planned to keep everyone busy, including a pinata, a volcano, the dino-dig and a bouncy house – (compliments of a local realtor-what a great way to get your name out!) After everyone had bounced for awhile, we broke them into 2 groups and had each go to the sandbox to dig for dinosaur skeletons, dinosaur skulls and gems.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They were so excited to find their treasures in the sand, and they traded with each other at the end. We had a bucket of water next to the sandbox to rinse off hands and feet after digging. I made a sheet with drawings of the dinosaurs that they found so they could name and identify them.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Each guest received a bucket with a luggage tag attached to keep track of their goodies. This proved to be helpful when the pinata was busted open, too!<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Our volcano was made out of homemade clay and an old laundry detergent bottle. We talked about different theories for how the dinosaurs became extinct and then demonstrated a “lava flow” by using baking soda, vinegar, red food coloring and a little dish soap for extra foam. The kids liked that activity so we did that a couple times!<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everyone munched on dino-shaped chicken nuggets, dino-shaped pb&j’s, fruit skewers, chocolate rock candy and Scooby snacks (bone-shaped!) \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\nI, of course, forgot to get a photo of the table when it was all laid out but here’s what I did manage to take before it started…<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The cake was partially decorated with a volcano and I added a logo and dinosaur skeleton sugar cookie cutouts to it. (I used this template<\/a>.)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Along with their bucket of dinos and gems, each guest brought home a bag of chocolate rocks and pop rocks.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
It was a great time and Sam really enjoyed his party! Easy clean-up too because everyone was outdoors!<\/div>\n
The Dino-Dig invitation and package<\/a> is now available in our shop!<\/div>\n
