Food Ideas for a Dinosaur Theme Party

Whether it's the gentleness of Barney the Purple Dinosaur or the monsters of Jurassic Park, a dinosaur theme can really make a party special. Themed food ideas are unlimited if you let your imagination be your guide.

Dinosaur Eggs

Boil some eggs and let them cool. Gently crack them all over but don't peel them. Place them in a bowl of water and food coloring and place them in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, carefully peel off the shells and the eggs will appear to have cracks all over them.

Sandwiches

Use cookie cutters to make dinosaur-shaped sandwiches. You can also try this with cheese.

Dino Punch

Combine lemon-lime soda with lime sherbet to get "dino punch."

Jell-O Dinosaur Eggs

Fill clean, plastic eggs with Jell-O and insert a candy or gummy dinosaur in the center. Put it in the fridge to allow it to set.

Ice Cream

Roll balls of ice cream in sprinkles to get "dinosaur eggs."

Cake

Themed cakes include a dinosaur in a cave or next to a volcano. If you prefer to serve cupcakes, create icing that resembles a nest, and add a speckled candy egg to each cupcake.
