Wishing Well

Wishing Well Lore: Long ago, young dinosaur explorers tossed coins, rocks, or fossil tokens into old stone wells before a big adventure. They believed the well brought good luck, sharp eyes, and helped lead them to hidden treasure.

Hang a dino bucket or set it out with a cup of coins, rocks, or fossil tokens for guests to make a wish throughout the party.

Dino Lore: Long ago, deep in dinosaur territory, explorers discovered a mysterious fossil bucket said to hold a little bit of prehistoric luck. Legend says that when a young dinosaur explorer makes a brave wish and tosses a coin or fossil token inside, the dino magic stirs to life. But the bucket does not respond to just anyone- it chooses explorers with courage, curiosity, and a true spirit of adventure. Today, each new explorer gets a turn to make a wish and see if the dino magic chooses them.
