Dinosaur
Jungle greens, volcano orange and a T. rex on the cake.
Best for ages 2 to 7
Dinosaurs never go out of fashion, and nothing here is tied to a film, so it works for any child who knows the difference between a stegosaurus and a triceratops (they will tell you).
Go prehistoric with fern greens, sandy earth and a hot volcano orange. Palm leaves and a few toy dinosaurs on the table do more than any banner. For the activity, bury plastic skeletons in a sandpit or a tub of kinetic sand and hand out paintbrushes for a fossil dig.
