Up is one of my favorite movies. I had a really hard time settling on the way I wanted to go with this theme. I’ve seen a lot of rainbow and cloud themed parties based off of the iconic scene when Carl’s house rises from the ground lifted by balloons. I also considered a South American theme, specifically Venezuelan because Paradise Falls (the place Ellie always wanted to visit) is based on Angel falls in Venezuela. The other idea I had was to do a Wilderness Scouts party, which I saw later was what Pixar actually did for the movie premiere party.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with Wilderness Scouts for the most part, but the party decorations referenced the first 2 ideas. It was difficult to find any toys from the movie since I made this party recently, but they sold stuffed Kevin and Doug toys at the Disney store at the time and you can get Carl, Doug or Russel Funko POP Disney Series 5:\u00a0 Vinyl Figures<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Kevin’s dog bones. These are brown sugar cookies that I got at an Asian grocery store.<\/p>\n

Up milk shake. I just added a little blue food coloring to this milk shake. The clouds are just scoops of ice cream that I added in between layers of the milk shake to make it look like clouds.<\/p>\n

In the movie, Ellie has a little Adventure book. I made these based with method 3 from this instruction guide: http:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Bind-a-Book. The kids earned badges for their activities at the party and they could record the activities in their books. I got the badges from the SnappyLogos.com. You can find pictures of Russel, Carl’s house and paper badges for the book in this file.\u00a0 UP coloring<\/a><\/p>\n

The kids learned the Wilderness Explorer Call and how to use a compass, made an edible fire (http:\/\/scoutingweb.com\/scoutingweb\/subpages\/ediblefire.htm), and made a flower cupcake. The cupcake is a chocolate cupcake at the bottom of the glass, then chocolate pudding, and then crushed Oreos. You could also make dirt cake for this. I had to convince some of the kids that the crushed Oreos were not really dirt.<\/p>\n
