“A Wilderness Explorer is friend to all, be it a plants or fish or tiny mole.” Then of course the signature “Caw, Caw, Roar!”
My granddaughter loves Disney's movie UP. I decided to surprise her on a trip to Walt Disney World with the infamous Wilderness Explorer Sash!
It is easy to find downloadable prints of the Wilderness Explorer badges. I printed them out and Mod Podged them to yellow kids craft foam. I made a sash with some spare fabric and used my old (VERY OLD) Girl Scout sash as a pattern. With fabric hot glue I attached them to the sash in the order it is displayed in the movie.
If you know the story there was a very special "badge" that Russell received at the end of the movie called "The Ellie Badge." I made one with a bottle cap I had in my crafty stash and followed instructions on a YouTube video. Make The Ellie Badge.
To Ali's surprise Russell and Carl had left her a Wilderness Explorer sash the day we were going to Animal Kingdom. Ali had many extra opportunities to earn The Ellie Badge. The WE cast members were incredible!
At the end of the day she was award the Ellie Badge for being helpful and kind all day.
It was a wonderful day and worth the time to put it together.
A sweet moment for Ali receiving her last badge!
