there were three main activities related to the party theme: ice excavation

t-rex bean toss

we cut out a from a scrap piece of plywood and painted on the t-rex face. the bean bags were simple to make

the process of making the bones is really simple. make a batch of salt dough. form it into “dinosaur bones” and bake in a warm oven
