Decor shading solutions should be in the following colors:

• dark blue (ocean and rivers);
• green (from light green to pistachio);
• orange and gray (colors of stones and minerals).

Try to achieve maximum exoticism combined with naturalness. Arrange tubs of large indoor plants around the room. Dracaena, croton with colorful leaves, as well as palms and monstera look especially impressive.If you do not have suitable flowers, you can cut the leaves and vines from corrugated paper or use artificial ones. For maximum immersion in the atmosphere, paint or spread white cardboard footprints of prehistoric reptiles on the floor.

Of course, no holiday is complete without balloons, use them in the appropriate theme. Attach paper head, wings and paws to them - let them represent pterodactyls. Inflatable dinosaur figures look very impressive.

Any children's holiday should be not only entertaining, but also educational, for this you can hang posters on the walls with images of dinosaurs and brief information about them. For the same purpose, you can equip a small exhibition exposition - a rack with plastic figurines of famous representatives of the archosaur subclass and explanatory notes to them.
