There are quite a few dinosaur tableware ranges to choose from. We've included the napkins below as they give a good idea of what the range looks like. Use the links below the Napkins to see the full range of plates, cups, invitations, blowers, tablecovers and more.

The Meri Meri Dinosaur and Little Dinos ranges are lovely for younger children. They work well for fans of Dinosaur Train and Diego.

Diggin' for Dinos is great for slightly older boys and girls who want their dinosaurs realistic, but not too scary! These are great for Dino Dan fans.

And the Dinosaur Times and Dinosaurs Ranges are great for kids who love scary carnivores like T-Rex. Perfect for kids who like Dino Dan or Dinosaur King.

A Dino Dig is a very popular activity at a dinosaur party. The kids get to pretend to be paleontologists and uncover prehistoric dinosaur bones - can they identify the dinosaur they've found?

This classroom set makes for a wonderful, realistic dino dig:

There are 30 fossils to find and they can be assembled into a big T-Rex skeleton! The kit includes stakes and grid tape - just like a real paleontology excavation! The kit is reusable so you can use it after the party too.

Manufacturer's Description: "Uncover a fantastic learning activity for your students - one they will remember for years to come. This kit includes everything you need to create a realistic T. rex dig in your own school yard or sandbox. Junior paleontologists will LOVE excavating and piecing together, a huge, super-realistic Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. Includes T. rex skeleton in 30 snap-together parts, rock-like base with 6 plant fossils, herbivorous dinosaur jawbone fragment, support rods, 8 trowels, 4 brushes, 16 stakes, 200 feet (60 m) of grid tape, 2 full-color posters, plus a 20-page guide with step-by-step directions, lesson plans, and reproducibles. Dig up some serious fun."

For a less impressive, but still fun option, you can do a dino dig with ordinary plastic dinosaurs. These dinosaur skeletons are even better! This set includes 12 dinosaur skeletons of various species.

If the weather is good enough then a dino dig outdoors in the sandbox. Depending on the number and age of the party guests and the size of your sandbox you may want to stage this activity so a few children at a time get to dig.

If the weather isn't good enough to be outside you could stage an indoor dino dig. If you've got the space and are happy to clear up then you could risk in indoor dino dig with sand. Otherwise packing peanuts could be an indoor substitute. The kids will still have fun.

A few of our favorite dinosaur party favors.

Tip: You can give the kids toy binoculars during the party and they can dress up and go on a dinosaur hunt. For younger kids just hide dinos indoors or outside (remember where you put them so you can help guide the game), for older kids you can set clues like a treasure hunt.
