Pterodactyl costumes for kids

Children's holidays

So, at 11.00 the children began to gather. Dima met them, escorted them to the room, examined the gifts. When everyone gathered, we started the celebration.
We had a bag of dinosaur emblems, everyone put their hand in there (blindly) and pulled out an emblem for themselves - what kind of dinosaur they would be. They gave out a costume, helped to dress up, wrote a name on the emblem, hung the emblem around the neck (just in case for the slow-witted :)))) Dima chose a costume for himself in advance - a megalosaurus - and he met guests in it. The mother of one child knows how to sew, so I instructed her to make a costume for her child herself, she inspired him to make him a chic Pterodactyl costume. Two kids couldn't make it, so my dad became the triceratops and I became the gorilla King Kong.

Choosing outfits

A megalosaurus with a pterodactyl is already doing something :)))

Everyone is dressed up. And I started the holiday like this:
- Well, you are all here. It's time to start our journey to the land of dinosaurs. Let's get acquainted. Name your dinosaur and what is your name. (Everyone calls his dinosaur and name).
Let's see if you are real dinosaurs. Well, growl!!! Click your teeth!!! Stomp your paws!!! Show how scary you are - make scary faces!!!
You can immediately see the real dinosaurs. Then we go on a trip.
On our way we will meet several glades and caves where one of the dinosaurs lives. Each of them has a task for you. Who will do the job well, will receive prizes. Are we leaving?
- YAAAAAAAAAAAA :))))

Dinosaur No. 1.
Megalosaurus.

Is this the lair of a Megalosaurus? Who is Megalosaurus?
- Dima!
- You all know that dinosaurs are very big animals. And that means very gluttonous! It takes a lot of food to feed such a huge carcass! So before we start our journey, let's stock up on food.
Dima takes off the envelope. There's a pizzeria menu.
- Let's order a pizza. Confer and choose 3 pizzas.
Choose. We call on the phone and order pizza.
While we wait, we move on.

Props: a poster, an envelope with a pizzeria menu, a costume (we bought a ready-made Crocodile costume: shorts + vest + hat and convinced Dima that it was a megalosaurus :))))

Dinosaur No. 2. Triceratops.

- This is a Triceratops clearing. Who is the Triceratops?
Dad was a Triceratops with a camera, so there is no photo of him.
- This dinosaur, despite its intimidating appearance, is a herbivore - it eats grass, leaves and flowers. And he gives you a magical seven-color flower. Let each of you tear off a petal and complete the task written on it. And get a prize!
Competition "Flower-seven-flower" On the reverse side of each petal, funny tasks are written, for example, "Cry in one corner of the room, laugh in the other, yawn in the third, dance in the fourth", "Change shoes (put shoes from the right foot on left, and vice versa), run a circle of honor around the birthday boy”, “Climb onto a chair in the middle of the room and congratulate the birthday boy, standing on one leg”, etc. Children tear off the petals TWICE and complete tasks.
Props: a poster, a flower on the poster, prizes - stickers with dinosaurs. Costume (no photo): collar made of green corrugated cardboard with an elastic band (we made it ourselves) + a purchased green bull mask (the main thing is with Horns!!!)

We present prizes for a successfully completed task

Dinosaur No. 3. Pterodactyl.

- Is there a nest of a pterodactyl up there (on a baby bed, on the second floor)? Who is a pterodactyl?
- Sasha.
- Well, pterodactyl Sasha, climb into your nest and watch the task.
Task: “Tell me, how do little dinosaurs come into the world?”
Answer: from eggs.
Until dinosaurs hatch, they are very defenseless. Any other dinosaur could accidentally step on an egg. Now we will check how clever, neat and kind our dinosaurs are. This competition is held only once and only for one dinosaur. I propose to fulfill it to our birthday man - megalosaurus Dima.
Competition: ten raw eggs are laid out on the floor in a room. The task is to carefully walk blindfolded and not crush a single egg. And we all tell you where to go. Dima was blindfolded and untwisted. We warn children not to give out the secret. At this time, we remove the eggs. Dima is coming. We all suggest. He tries not to step on. It turns out funny. When he reached the end, the eggs were laid out behind him: “Wow, Dima, what a clever dinosaur you are, you didn’t crush a single egg!”
Some children didn't understand the humor :)))) Of course, it would be funnier if he crushed all the eggs right in the room and got in trouble :))))))

Props: poster, 10 raw eggs, scarf, prize: an egg dinosaur with puzzles. The costume was sewn by the child's mother (well done, mother!)

Dinosaur No. 4. Spinosaurus.

- And this is the Spinosaurus Cave. Who is our Spinosaurus?
- Veronica
- Look what a powerful back this dinosaur has. Looks like a camel. Do you think it would be fun to ride on such a back? And now we will try. And let's check which of the dinosaurs will be faster - who will be able to ride, and who will not have time to jump on his back.
We arrange all the chairs (6 pieces): backs to each other.
"Well, why not a Spinosaurus?"
Competition: I turn on the music, and the children run around the "spinosaurus". As soon as the music stops, they should quickly jump on his back. Who did not have time, receives a small prize and leaves. And so we wait, who will be the fastest and most agile dinosaur.

Props: poster, computer with music, chairs, prizes: Alpenliebe sweets, 3rd, 2nd and 1st place - Drakosha soap, Drakosha toothpaste, toothbrush + Dinosaur stickers were added to the candies. Costume: made by ourselves from corrugated cardboard - back and muzzle (she rises on her head like a hat), + my yellow beach pareo, wrapped around the body.

Dinosaur No. 5. Diplodocus.

- Here is the diplodocus valley. Who is Diplodocus?
- Olesya
- Despite their huge size, Diplodocus were fairly peaceful dinosaurs. They were humble, calm and kind. They liked to wander through the fields, admire the trees, lazily nibbling leaves from them, enjoy the beauty of the world. And now we will have a creative competition of a beautiful drawing. We will draw postcard dinosaurs for our main dinosaur, Dima, who has a birthday today. He will keep your postcards as a keepsake and for many years they will remind him of our today's holiday.
I will give you magic leaves (so thin, translucent). If you attach them to a picture with a dinosaur, then you can copy this picture onto your postcard. Whoever wants and knows how can draw a dinosaur himself, and not copy it.
Color your drawings, those who can write - sign. And give it to the birthday boy.

Draw

Props: a poster, pictures of dinosaurs and magic paper (I ripped up the coloring with dinosaurs), a basket of pencils, prizes: Chewing gum for children "Orbit" - everyone. Costume: I donated a green bath towel for the skin, cut it around the edges with a zigzag, the remaining (cut) “zigzag” went to the belt and long tail, on the head a ribbon from the dragonfly costume + a green mask-glasses.

Pizza finally arrived and I had a break

And dad went to meet Timofey from a walk, undress him and bottle feed him, and then there are almost no photos from competitions.

Dinosaur No. 6. Kentrosaurus.

(the poster was not photographed separately, look for it in the general photos, it hangs near the table, to the left of Dima)
- Here is the lair of the Kentrosaurus. Who is the Kentrosaurus?
- Alena
- Look at the ferocious look of the Kentrosaurus, what awesome spikes on its body. What do you think would happen to our balloons if they hit such huge spikes? (They would burst!)
This is the kind of competition we will have. We will check who we have the most ferocious dinosaur.

We tie a balloon to each leg.

Competition: I turn on the music. The task of the children is to try to burst the balloon of another dinosaur, and save their own. You can't pick up balls with your hands. Whoever bursts the balloon receives a small prize and leaves. And so we wait, who will be the most ferocious dinosaur.
Oh, and there was a frenzy :))))

Props: poster, computer with music, balloons (removed), threads, prizes. prizes: “Halls” sweets, 3rd, 2nd and 1st place – “Drakosha” soap, “Drakosha” toothpaste, toothbrush + “Dinosaurs” stickers were added to the sweets. Kentrosaurus costume: Veronica's light green robe and corrugated cardboard cones sewn on it (yes, I had to fool around, tinker), yellow goggle mask.

Dinosaur No. 7. Funny dinosaur of unknown breed.

(the poster was not photographed separately, look for it in the general photos, it hangs near the table, to the right of Veronica)

- Here is a house of a funny dinosaur of an unknown breed. Who is the Funny Dinosaur?
- Lera
- This is a funny dinosaur. And that means it's time for us to relax and laugh.
Now we are going to make funny stories. I will say a question, and you write down some answer to it. For example, I say who, and then you write the name of some animal, a character from a cartoon, the name of your friend. I say: “I say: “what did I do”, you write, for example, “I went for a walk to the river”, “did my homework”, “danced the waltz”. Etc. Wrote one answer, wrapped it up. And they passed it on to their neighbor on the right. Who knows how to write, writes himself. Who does not know how, we will help.
And then we'll see what fairy tales we get.

Questions: When? Which? Who? (living being) Where? Who? What is he doing? What did you say? What? (subject)
Then the leaves were unfolded and fairy tales were obtained according to the following scheme: ?)____ And he (she) ___(what is he doing?)__
And __(1 who?)___ says to him: “_what did he say?_”
Here is such a __(what?)__

The children laughed like crazy.

Props: poster, multi-colored paper, pencils, prizes: stickers with cartoon characters. Costume: this dinosaur was conceived for the remaining props (so that we don't fool around further :))))))) - dragonfly costume (skirt and wings), green wig, horns.

"Dinosaur" No. 8. Gorilla King Kong.
Like the funny dinosaur and the saber-toothed tiger, the gorilla was included in the list of dinosaurs because it had a costume.

- Here is King Kong's Gorilla Cave. Who is Gorilla King Kong?
- Oh, yes, it's me :)
- Gorilla King Kong is a very smart and cunning animal. Therefore, it is she who will help you find a map of the world of dinosaurs and a SWEET TREASURE!!!
Read the Gorilla riddles and follow the directions.
Here I screwed up the problem with the map. I drew a map on my computer:

I cut it into pieces, tied it on the backs, under the tails, in the mouths of numerous toy dinosaurs, and hid them around the house. The children opened the tasks on the poster. For example: Open the gate to the dinosaur world as soon as possible And take a card from Dimetrodon (this dinosaur was outside the front door), A cold wind blows over a huge abyss. A modest Euplocephalos awaits you there (this one stood on the balcony), The volcano seeks to burn, hisses, boils, boils A ferocious Tyrannosaurus with a note is standing there (this one is near the teapot), You visited the Triceratops today You just didn’t take a piece of the map from him (under the poster of the Triceratops), The glacier is like in Antarctica. And Pachycephalosaurus freezes there to give you a map (in the refrigerator), Spinosaurus lives in a cave, and under its mountain A snake crawls and a map with it - rummage around there with your hand (under a child’s bed), Ankylosaurus ferocious went to a watering hole A piece of valuable map he took with him (in the bathroom). The map has been collected. And the last note on the poster: Fold the cards to shreds, think over it Follow the dinosaur trail alive And look for sweet treasure! And eat quickly!
They glued the map with adhesive tape, stupid for a long time :)))), ran around in the wrong places, thought that the rock was a closet, etc. But in the end, they found a cake.
Props: poster, notes, dinosaurs put in their places in advance. Cake! No prizes. Gorilla costume: hat (bought) + slippers-paws (borrowed from grandmother) + for children there were also brown pants from Veronica's wardrobe.

"Dinosaur" No. 9. Saber-toothed tiger.

- Well, here we are at the end of our journey. In the lair of the saber-toothed tiger. Who is our tiger?
- Vanya
- See how huge his teeth are? This will be our latest competition. Show what toothy dinosaurs you are. There will be no losers in this competition.
Competition "Cut off the rope".
Two people (dad and our girl) are holding a stick with prizes hung. Mom takes care of the kids. The kids get in line. Each is given two approaches. We blindfold the child, spin it, give scissors and let him cut off his prize.

Props: a mop stick :) (strings sag under the prizes and are uncomfortable to hold), prizes wrapped in paper, scissors, a scarf over the eyes. Tiger costume: lion mask (bought), fur collar from my coat, belt from a striped terry dressing gown as a tail.

UV Here the official part is finally over.

I should note that, of course, there was a child who was shy and tried to evade the costume first (replaced with another one he liked better), then from competitions (here the magic worked: “Oh, what a pity, then you won’t get any prizes” ). There was a child who, “But I don’t eat pizza!” When the pizza was brought, he ate it.
Despite the skepticism of Veronica and dad “What are you doing, Lera won’t dress up!”, 13-year-old Lera dressed up the fastest and also had fun and ran along with 7-year-olds, I even had to whisper to her once “let’s lose in this competition, it is clear that you will win right now, settle for 3rd place, ”to which she reacted with understanding and humor.
Dima had to be instructed clearly before the holiday - this is the first time he has such an event: do not be capricious, do not pout, do not be offended, be polite, meet all guests, and not bury yourself in gifts, see everyone off and thank you, if you don’t like something, don’t show , and if he “starts”, I will affectionately say “megalozaaaavr” to him like this and this will be a signal for him to pull himself together, in general, the briefing was awesome . .. He did a great job, kept diligently (it was noticeable to me), in the frenzied dressing did not go away, he held out well and I hope he got the same pleasure :)
Unfortunately, I didn’t give Veronica a briefing and she kept breaking into command and the habitually indignant “Dimaaaaa! Mom, and he…”, “forgetting” that Dima still had DR, constantly tried to seize the lead and rushed to “let's do it again”, when everyone was exhausted and the journey was over. I had to slowly besiege it, slow it down from time to time. Next time I'll have to instruct her too.
In general, I was very satisfied. Everything went according to plan. It was possible to successfully alternate frenzied competitions with calm ones, no one actively protested, on the contrary, everyone eagerly rushed to complete the task, no one seemed to be offended, no one was capricious, everyone won a lot of prizes and went home with impressions.
